Please God let me be a kid a little longer

Even though all I do is squander

But really this is all I ask

There’s a reason that I live in the past

 

The buttons have been pushed 

To fast forward my life

I have not played in the sun nor laughed in so long

It is like a soon forgotten song

 

My peers and I should not be given the life of adults

When we can’t even drive nor cast a vote

We worry our minds on solitary things

Driving our young hearts to scream

 

Please dear God slow time down

Let us lose what we were made to have found

Bring us back to innocence and days in the sun

Please just let me run, run, run
