There's a tree in my backyard Bulldozers took it down I sat in it most days When my parents would leave town Inside my treehouse I don't have to grow up My thoughts run wild I'm forever a child There's a blanket in my room It is tattered and torn Patches to fix up The places I wore Inside my blanket I don't have to grow up My thoughts run wild I'm forever a child Running through the grass I remember it Just like that Dirt upon my feet No one to please When we grow up, why do we Have to leave the land of make believe I don't know I don't know There's a photo on my shelf It's a picture of myself Seated at the keys The blanket on my knees Inside this photograph I don't have to grow up My thoughts run wild I'm forever a child
