When I get older
Im gonna be stronger
So I can lift up the whole entire world
Im gonna hold it
And lift it higher
Higher than its been before
When I hear music
I get excited
Im gonna sing songs to the whole entire world
And when the whole world sings to the music
Thats when Ill know it worked
But my friends say Im still a baby
Then they threw away my baby shoes
Well, excuse me, Im going sailing
Into the ocean blue
When I get older
Im gonna be wilder
And write poetry in my spare time
And Ill use some very interesting metaphors
And then post my poems online
Heres a poem about rain
And the water droplets that it creates
And I wonder if you feel it this way
And I wonder if it seems okay
Heres a poem about fame
And the strange things famous people say
And the strange world that hears them say it
Almost every single day
When I get older
Im gonna drive slowly
Til I get to all the places Im going
And when I get there Im gonna drive backwards
Til we get home again
And Im faced with so many changes
That I just might change my face
But face paint seems a bit tenacious
So I just might paint my brain
When I get younger
Im gonna be a liar
Ill be lying about being so young
Then when Im older
Ill be more truthful
And then lie about singing this song
Then the song will sing me
And the song wont sing it for free
And I dont quite know what it means
And it feels like the song knows me
Then Im hearing it in my dreams
And each dream seems pretty sweet
And the music cured my disease
Then the songs complete
When I get older
Im gonna be stronger
So I can lift up the whole entire world
Im gonna hold it
And lift it higher
Then Ill lift it more
