Lyrics
FULL GROWN MAN
When I was a little child
I was frightened of the night
I hid beneath the blankets
As I slept by candlelight
But now that I?m a full grown man
My eyes have learned to see
And now that I?m a full grown man
The dark don?t bother me
When I was a little child
I always had my toy gun
I kept it in a holster
And I fought until I won
But now that I?m a full grown man
I know the facts of war
And now that I?m a full grown man
I carry guns no more
When I was a little child
Giants made me cry
I thought I was Peter Pan
And I could really fly
But now that I?m a full grown man
Giants aren?t so tall
And now that I?m a full grown man
I know I can?t fly at all
So when I see a little child
Staring at the sky
I think of when I was that child
Searching for a reason why
And when he is a full grown man
Will he know what?s there
And when he is a full grown man
I wonder if he?ll care
