Childhood


I thought I was the king

 

I thought I'd done it all

 

I thought my childhood was complete

 

I thought I had set a goal no one could compete

 

I thought I was satisfied with my achievement

 

I thought it was all done

 

 

But I missed one crucial thing

 

Something that would have made everything even better

 

One little thing

 

That would have turned everything around

 

One little thing that would have helped me achieve more

 

One little thing that I thought I already had

 

But oh, was I wrong

 

That one little thing was actually the biggest thing of my life

 

It changed my ways, it changed my view

 

 

That one little thing

 

 

Was you.
