"NOTHING BUT A CHILD"
Verse 1: When I was young
I only had
one fear in mind
of growing up
and moving on
I never realized
Chorus 1: That I didn't wanna grow up
but it happened just so fast
and you helped me see it through
you helped me find my life
Bridge: I had one fear
one fear in mind
of growing up in time
my world was gone
but I found you
you helped me find my life
Verse 2: Now that I
have finally found
my place with you
I'm all grown up and moving fast
you helped me see it through
Chorus 2: I loved you for so long and now
I want you to be mine
what am I to do without you
without you
I am nothing
but a child
