At times, I feel old like I`m going out of style
So I turn down the music on my FM dial
I beg of you to come and listen for a while
And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child
This is my chance to escape today
And I don`t want to see my dreams chased away
Inside the palace gates is where I stay
`Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play
Its like the story of the little wooden boy
Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy
I heard it once of twice before
The world is yours for you to explore
I heard my calling as a child and I answered it
When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit
I`ll be the sort of man you can`t forget
I used to stair up at the sky on my camping trips
In this quiet night of quiet stars
Of quiet chords on my guitar
Kids out there, I know it might be hard
But I realize how alive you are
CHORUS
One day I`ll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I`ll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember?
Yes I remember
Do you remember?
Some say the price of life has a costly amount
When it comes to fights, I might`ve lost me a bout
But I`ve never lost my head `cause that would cost me a scalp
So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps
I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics
In `86 my whole crew was in to dirt bikes
Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose
Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose
This is what makes my life so real
I`ll take my chances and spin the wheel
I can`t wait to grow up so I`ll know the deal
But right now I`m a child and this is how I feel
My younger days were sort of tragic despite
I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic
I might need a little magic tonight
`Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life
My rhymes helped me many times grow`n up
Before keep`n it real, all the days are blow`n up
I put on shows in my room- nobody show`n up
I`m just a little guy now, but when I`m old enough
CHORUS
That was my train of thought
