I thought I could change the world before I was 5
I looked at people and I heard them on the inside
I grew to learn that the truth is often disguised
I picked a flower when I was 6 and thought I heard her cry
I vowed never to do that again, at least until I turned 9
I thought I could change the world before I was 18
I tried to pretend happy was all I'd ever been
I thought making people laugh was all they'd ever need
I grew to learn the world was full of lies and greed
I vowed never to love again, at least until I was 23
I tried to change the world before I turned 26
Making people laugh is all I've accomplished
I've grown to learn that this is all there really is
I vow never to try again, at least until I'm 30.
