Year after Year
As a child I dreamed of growing up
I loved playing grown up, and day dreaming I had my life set up just like I wanted.
Tick-tock Tick-tock
Years passing by and viewing time differently
No more time to play or day dream
No more late nights watching cartoons on TV
Tick-tock Tick-tock
Years passing by and viewing money differently
No more wanting to spend money
No more saving up for toys
Tick-tock Tick-tock
Years passing by and viewing food differently
No more junk food
No more dessert after dinner
Tick-tock Tick-tock
Years passing by and viewing life differently
No more thinking everyone has 100 more years to live
No more life risking moments
Tick-tock Tick-tock
Years passing by and viewing school differently
No more riding the school bus
No more asking mom for help with homework
Tick-tock
New perspectives on everything
Learning how to take one step at a time
and learning that God has a plan for the future
Tock-tick Tock-tick
Reverse the time
Keep on dreaming of growing up
Dream of the achievements you will achieve
And let the dreams live on.
