At times, I feel old like I'm going out of style 

So I turn down the music on my FM dial 

I beg of you to come and listen for a while 

And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child 

This is my chance to escape today 

And I don't want to see my dreams chased away 

Inside the palace gates is where I stay 

'Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play 

Its like the story of the little wooden boy 

Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy 

I heard it once of twice before 

The world is yours for you to explore 

I heard my calling as a child and I answered it 

When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit 

I'll be the sort of man you can't forget 

I used to stair up at the sky on my camping trips 

In this quiet night of quiet stars 

Of quiet chords on my guitar 

Kids out there, I know it might be hard 

But I realize how alive you are 



[CHORUS] 

One day I'll travel from the East to the West 

And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess 

I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh 

And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless 

Do you remember? 

Yes I remember 

Do you remember? 



Some say the price of life has a costly amount 

When it comes to fights, I might've lost me a bout 

But I've never lost my head 'cause that would cost me a scalp 

So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps 

I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics 

In '86 my whole crew was in to dirt bikes 

Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose 

Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose 

This is what makes my life so real 

I'll take my chances and spin the wheel 

I can't wait to grow up so I'll know the deal 

But right now I'm a child and this is how I feel 

My younger days were sort of tragic despite 

I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic 

I might need a little magic tonight 

'Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life 

My rhymes helped me many times grow'n up 

Before keep'n it real, all the days are blow'n up 

I put on shows in my room- nobody show'n up 

I'm just a little guy now, but when I'm old enough 



[CHORUS] 



That was my train of thought
