lyrics

There in the sun
She's laughing loud and having fun
Talking about the mountains she has climbed
and the ribbons inside
And all I can do
Is tap my foot and wait til 2
When I can be king of my little world again

No you won't
No you won't
Kick me when I'm down
But I'm always down
And I just stared and sat
when you said I wasn;t where it's at
But you wouldn't know where it was
If you were tied down in the mud
On your back looking up at a sign that said
You are here
Let's start again

We'll show them all
One day we'll be ten feet tall
And no one will ever tell us to relax
These are just the facts
With our sights set high
The limit will be the blue sky
And we will never think back on these days again

No they won't
No they won't
Tell us right from wrong
cause we don't have long
To smile and have a blast
We're told it goes by too fast
And we won't live as they choose to
With a window as their view
Wondering what could've been
What world are they living in?

Now my hair is gray
At least what's left of it today
But my smile still comes to me easily
I've lived the hell out of life
I've raised my kids
I love my wife
And those who scorned me tell me they believed all along
