I don't want to grow up.....

Kinda wishin I was still a Toys R Us kid,
with dollar store money, lookin a pyramids
of things that i want have, instead of what i need
Too young to know guilt, or to be blamed for greed

Man, it seems like it's been a million years since i
hard a run of easy days, that didn't carry the fear
of where i'd find the money for the voices that i hear
or when i'd up next to someone who really cared

Seems like i'm going through the motions
of treading all this water, while i try to cross an ocean
hoping that strong enough roll with the tide
and that i'm not hanging in here just because i have my pride

Somedays i'm Van Gogh'n off the deep, end
seems like beginning of the direction that i'm, in
transition but not moving making moderate gains
in belt notches, but not in accomplishments,
can't fight the establishment, or control the environment
just meet requirements, so can retire when?

Somebody else decides? I need to laugh more in the face of pain
and cry in the face of rain, thank the drops, for the blessings that they carry
more than they destroy, if only were just rose growing,
instead of that little boy......
