When I Was Younger

When I was younger
I seem to remember
Holding a finger
While walking to .. mother standing

By ten I could tell her
I’ll love you for forever
And I’ll tread on the stars just to be with you
Not withstanding

But staring into her vacant face, yes
I wished my eyes would never stray
She said why cry little baby, why cry, hey, hey
Why cry little baby, wipe your eyes, hey, hey

Now I am older I don’t sit on her shoulder
To gaze over worlds that are nowhere to the highest standing
Instead I’m staring into your ageless faces
And I wish my eyes will never stray

So why cry little baby, why cry, hey, hey
Why cry little baby, wipe your eyes, hey, hey, hey

Why should you worry
Know there’ll be an answer when you fall
So don’t you push or be in hurry
Cos learning how to stand is why you fall

When I was I younger
I seem to remember
Holding a finger
While walking to .. mother standing
