Like A Child

Wow, your soul is a wonderland A child is playing hide and seek within She used to dream of a garage band So sure she’ll live an easy livin’ Freckled-nosed summers you spent by the shore Even though you were forbidden You entered the grown-ups’ door Played with the stones, with the leaves With everything you found Pulled many cats’ tails and ears Gave some bones to Charlie the hound When you wish you were foolin’ around With the kids on the ground When even your own jacket’s too big for you Release your childish mind Let it grow, let it shine, let it drink a sip of wine Let it snow, let it rain, let it do things in vain Let it be a little shy, let it laugh, let it cry Let it fool, let it play, let it fly, let it sway Let it grow, let it shine, let it drink a sip of wine Let it snow, let it rain, let it do things in vain Let it be a little shy, let it laugh, let it cry Let it fool, let it play, let it fly, let it sway Played with the stones, with the leaves With everything you found Pulled many cats’ tails and ears Gave some bones to Charlie the hound When you wish you were foolin’ around With the kids on the ground When even your own jacket’s too big for you Release your childish mind Let it grow, let it shine, let it drink a sip of wine Let it snow, let it rain, let it do things in vain Let it be a little shy, let it laugh, let it cry Let it fool, let it play, let it fly, let it sway Let it grow, let it shine, let it drink a sip of wine Let it snow, let it rain, let it do things in vain Let it be a little shy, let it laugh, let it cry Let it fool, let it play, let it fly, let it sway Let it grow, let it shine, let it drink a sip of wine Let it snow, let it rain, let it do things in vain Let it be a little shy, let it laugh, let it cry Let it fool, let it play, let it fly, let it sway
