Mother,
Won't you hold me tight
And say life will be bright
And it will be alright
Mother,
I'm not ready yet
To leave your nest
The world's a cruel place
I feel scared
Scared to leave your embrace
Father,
I need advice,
Hold my fingers,help me walk
On this unnerving path unknown
I cannot do this alone
Mother,
I don't want to grow up
Do things I have never done
How to strike conversation
It's happening to fast,it's all too much
I'm yet too young
Take me back to 2015
When I was young and carefree
When exams were my only worries
Now trials arrive in flurries
Grandma,
Please come back
I want sleep once more in your lap
Hear stories of the fairyland
Kiss once more your wrinkled hand
Buddies,
Let's be together once more
There are things you can't do over the phone
Come on,let's hangout as friends
I wish there was a way to know you're in the good old days before you've actually left them.
Why can't I remain a child forever
Have fun with my school mates
Waste hours watching cartoons
Not worried by world affairs
Take me back to the golden days
Now I have to choose a college
After sometime,get a job
Survive on my own
Talk to people i haven't met before
What if I fail
What if I crash
What if my dreams are thrown into thrash
Mother,
I'm still a child
I do not know what is my worth
Don't leave me,ma
I'm still a child
I'm not ready for the real world
Everything's changing
And so fast
But family will
Forever last
I know I am lucky that I can say that
Guide me through
Guide me through
Guide me through
This age of angst
