I Grew Up a Little

I grew up a little

Faster than I expected to

Only yesterday I dreamt of going to college

I dream of coming back home now

Thought I would be up and full of knowledge

Now I dream to freely roam now

Sadness and hope are still kids for me

As I am to myself now

Its all the same, losses and wins to me

I stare at memories on a shelf now

The world is spinning as I fall

I thought I'd be just a little more tall

The glasses smudge as I wear them

I see the child that would just tear them

I beckon for hope to come tomorrow

For I am as I am today

And I know I will grow tomorrow

The child walks on another day

I pray to the lord above

I will do as you say

Return me to the happiness that once lived

In my heart

I will find it in my heart

I think I grew up a little
