What is a grown-up?
Can anybody tell?
I know a thousand words
And can cast a million spells,
My father loses sense,
And his potions are often wrong,
What is a grown-up?
Can anybody tell?

You see the grown-up when with youthful eyes,
As someone strong,
Never do wrong,
And always standing tall,
I see the grown-up now with damaged sight,
As someone weak,
An evil streak,
And always crushing dreams.

What is a grown up?
Can anybody tell?
I know a thousand tales,
And can see a million souls,
My mother loses plots,
And her vision is often blind,
What is a grown-up?
Can anybody tell?
