Lyrics
I know sometimes it?s hard being young, being a kid.
It seems like all you know is what you can?t do, you can?t touch, you can?t say.
I bet you think, ?Maybe if I were older...
I?d do what I want, say what I want if only I were older.?
Let me tell you a little secret about the grown-ups you know.
They don?t always get to do what they want, what they like, what they think is fun.
Sometimes they think, ?Maybe if I were younger...
I?d do what I want, say what I want if only I were younger.?
Sometimes we do what?s best for ourselves.
Sometimes we do what?s best for someone else.
Sometimes we do what?s best for the world.
So, do what you want, say what you want, but do right by eachother.
