When I was born my head was soft
My high chair I fell off
It hurt and I shed tears
That's when I learned to fear
As time went on I tested fate
Did crazy things on roller skates
Climbed high trees and then fell down
Bruised and torn, a purplish brown
In my teens I fell in love
It felt like a heavenly drug
Then one day she broke my heart
What once was sweet, now was ****
And then adulthood quickly came
And many days were filled with shame
Climbing trees in concrete jungles
Dreams easily crumbled
Life is tough, wear a helmet
Don't back down when you cannot bear it
Get up, walk and persevere
You can overcome your fears

When I was born my head was soft
My high chair I fell off
It hurt and I shed tears
That's when I learned to fear
As time went on I tested fate
Did crazy things on roller skates
Climbed high trees and then fell down
Bruised and torn, a purplish brown
In my teens I fell in love
It felt like a heavenly drug
Then one day she broke my heart
What once was sweet, now was ****
And then adulthood quickly came
And many days were filled with shame
Climbing trees in concrete jungles
Dreams easily crumbled
Life is tough, wear a helmet
Don't back down when you cannot bear it
Get up, walk and persevere
You can overcome your fears
