When I Grow Old I Want To Grow Young

When I grow up I want to be a child Sentenced to a life forever incomplete Set forth towards goals that I will never meet Live a life that's mellow and mild I want to relive the bliss of being a child When I ascend from my capsule upon greener grass I want to recognize things from this life once passed I'll see my mistakes, and I'll make them again I didn't make the journey for this life, to mend But as I crawl out to the heat of this younger sun My maiden voyage as a temponaut has begun And I'll relive these years just as happy I'll keep an eye out for the things I should have cherished God, I hope my time travelling days never perish And when I grow old I want to grow young My maiden voyage as a temponaut has begun
