V.1
Been thinking maybe I was wiser when
I was young and life was innocent
A mustache from my Kool-Aid
You could fix my whole world with a Band-aid
Got me thinking ‘bout what Jesus said
About the simple faith of little kids
They’ve got the keys to the kingdom
The more I live the more I wanna be one of them

CHO
When I grow up I wanna be a child again
Til my faith feels like I’m walking home with my best Friend
In the light of a summertime that never ends
When I grow up I wanna be a child again
I wanna be a child again


V.2
No time for holding on to bitterness
Why do that when we could play instead?
‘Cause who needs more drama
When the living room floor is lava
Kicking clouds on the playground swing
Never thought I had to prove a thing
I had the keys to the kingdom
I let ‘em go but he told me where to find them

CHO

BR
Bring me back to A, B, Cs and my 1-2-3s
Curiosity times infinity
Trusting somebody was always watching over me
Fill me up with the wonder
So every day I’ll get a little bit younger


LAST CHO
When I grow up I wanna be a child again
Where life feels like I’m walking home with my best Friend
In the light of a summertime that never ends
When I grow up I wanna be a child again
I wanna be a child again
