Oh mother
Oh mother, I'm running from
From the arms of another
Of another, broken home
Remember when we were children
We were just children, having fun
With the old ghost in the garden
Before we started, growing up
Ooh, oohh
Oh father
Oh father, I guess I'm wrong
The castles in the kitchen, that we kept building
Slowly gone
Remember when we were children
We were just children, singing songs
Passed down from your father
Before we started, growing old
When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?
Oh mother
Oh mother, I'm outgrown
I'm outgrown
Oh brother, my brother
Where have you gone?
I wrote to you, said I missed you
You and our sister, are moving on
Remember when we were children
We were just children, having fun
I fall asleep with a burden
And we get up early, to beat the sun
When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?
Oh mother
Oh mother, I'm outgrown
We never can not know
We never can outgrow
When was the last time we
Stayed up to count the stars?
When was the last time we
Said that the world was ours?
Oh mother
Oh mother, I'm outgrown
We never can not know
We never can outgrow
