No I wasn't ready
For a life so heavy
For my fears were taught
And I try to let them go
Close my eyes and fall
Like tears, she is my own
The rest's unknown
I remember a place
Where innocence fades
Where we learn to run
Swim in the grass green and gold
Racing toward the sun
Hit the ground and broke the bone
The rest's unknown
I don't want to grow old
But if I must, oh if I must
I hope that my body goes
Before my mind does
Remember me as I was
Seems like the days
Are getting harder to take
Are we of this world
It's a violent one you know
So, find a boy or a girl
And hold your mother close
The rest's unknown
