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 learned 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
