I was wayward child
  With the weight of the world
  That I held deep inside
  Life was a winding road
  And I learned many things
  Little ones shouldn't know
    [Chorus:]
  But I closed my eyes
  Steadied my feet on the ground
  Raised my head to the sky
  And though time's rolled by
  Still feel like a child
  As I look at the moon
  Maybe I grew up
  A little too soon
    Funny how one can learn
  To grow numb to the madness
  And block it away
  I left the worst unsaid
  Let it all dissipate
  And I try to forget
    [Chorus]
    Nearing the edge
  Obvious I almost
  Fell right over
  A part of me
  Will never be quite able
  To feel stable
  That woman-child falling inside
  Was on the verge of fading
  Thankfully I
  Woke up in time
    Guardian angel I
  Sail away on an ocean
  With you by my side
  Orange clouds roll by
  They burn into your image
  And you're still alive
  (You're always alive)
    [Chorus]
