A grown-up kid
You swallow a year
And then you grow
Not very fast
And not too slow
You grow your teeth
You grow your feet
And then you become
A grown-up kid
The time flies forward
Or backward sometimes
At times too slow
Or way too fast
You wander through life
And one day recognize
How to stretch your shoulders
And spread your wings
And fly high into the sky
Into the bubble of happiness
And then you grow
Not very fast
And not too slow
You grow your teeth
You grow your feet
And then you become
A grown-up kid
The time flies forward
Or backward sometimes
At times too slow
Or way too fast
You wander through life
And one day recognize
How to stretch your shoulders
And spread your wings
And fly high into the sky
Into the bubble of happiness
