Close My Eyes

I was a wayward child, with the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things little ones shouldn't know

But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled-by
Still, I feel like a child as I look at the Moon
Maybe I grew-up a little too soon

(Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da)
(Da-da, da-da-da, da, da, da, da)
(Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da)
(Da-da, da-da-da, da, da, da, da)

Funny, how one can learn to grow numb to the madness
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate, and I try to forget

But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled-by
Still, I feel like a child as I look at the Moon
Maybe I grew-up a little too soon

Nearing the edge, oblivious, I almost fell right over
A part of me will never be quite able to feel stable
That woman-child, falling inside, was on the verge of fading
Thankfully, I woke-up in time

Guardian angel, I sail-away on an ocean with you by my side
Orange clouds roll-by
They burn into your image, and you're still alive
(You're always alive)

As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled-by
Still, I feel like a child as I look at the Moon
Maybe I grew-up a little too soon

(Da-da, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-da-da)
(Da-da, da-da-da, da, da, da, da)
