When I Grow Up...

You taught me to be strong
All the storms, they never last long
And you told me to be kind
The world's already so cruel, grow good thoughts in your mind
You taught me to work hard
You can go everywhere if you learn how to run far
But you told me it's okay to fall
Just put in your best, forget the rest, and that's all

Draw the blinds
Say goodnight
Kiss me on the cheek
Turn on the starry lights
To help me fall asleep
Through the sun
Through the rain
I know I'll be okay
Just the thought of you helps keep me sane

Well the sky it could be black, it could be blue
I don't mind just as long as I have you

You told me to persevere
It's not always as easy as it appears
You told me to take it slow
One day at a time is how you grow

Draw the blinds
Say goodnight
I'm only a call away
Stare up at the starry night
You know I'm probably awake
Through the sun
Through the rain
I know I'll be okay
Just the thought of you helps keep me sane

Well the sky it could be black, it could be blue
I don't mind just as long as I have you
When the world feels like it's ending
Well you say it's just pretending
Everything that happens has a reason to
And those words make me feel warm just like you do
Yeah I hope when I grow up I'm just like you

(Turn on the starry lights)
(Help me fall asleep)
(Bring peace back to me)
(You're my everything)
