the child in me wanted to touch stars
now i fear looking up into the night
the little girl i was read too much
now i grow weary of too many letters
i look for things to fill my pocket
instead of things to fill my soul
i think of survival in a capital of greed
than happiness in a world of wonder
i don't want this
i don't want this
let there be ware on my bones
and sullen age in my old eyes
if that is the price of pursing dreams
at the end of a fulfilled life
