When Will I Grow Up?


When I was sad, huddling at the corner of a road
Staring at the lights on the streets
A 7-year old me
Filled with much curiosity about the world
I stumbled as I cried
Something shining at the end of the rainbow
Changes in the blink of an eye

At the eve of sunset
I held on to the strangest dream
Standing tall
Until I realized that I was awakened from that dream

Why must I grow up?
When will I grow up?

As I wake
The light of sunset seeps through my window
As I rubbed my eyes I couldn't believe
That I am standing under the sunshine
Though the distance seemed so far
I cannot fly when I'm awake
The light of sunset feels so far away

Why must I grow up?
When will I grow up?
