I pray the Lord, my soul to keep, and find another star
Right away I'd fall into the night
Everyone is on the run, no promises to keep
How I wish to sleep a child's sleep
Mama, cradle me, I don't want to be
A grown-up anymore
Why is it so?
It's so hard to make myself a part of what I have to be
A million miles between the who I am and me
Mama, cradle me, I don't want to be
A grown-up anymore
I wish to be a alive child
I wish to be a child
Triangular and made of dust
A cobweb way up high


Watching life go by and feeling sad
Insect wings, transparent things
Fly inside my night
See through smiles, hail in morning light
Mama, cradle me
I don't wanna be
A grown up anymore
Why is it so hard
To make myself a part
Of what I have to be
A million miles between
The who I am and me
Mama, cradle me
I don't wanna be
A grown up anymore
I lost my gravity
I don't wanna be
A grown up anymore
Why is it so hard
To make myself a part
Of what I have to be
A million miles between
The who I am and me
Mama, cradle me

I don't wanna be








Mama, cradle me
I don't wanna be
A grown up anymore
Why is it so hard
To make myself a part
Of what I have to be

The who I have to be
A million miles between
The who I have to be
Why is it so hard
I don't wanna be
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
