I'm a child,
I'm too young to be old
But the ice has been injected
and my heart grows cold
Such an old spirit
they say with such glee,
without knowing the half
of what's happened to me
Raped of all innocence,
my mind has never been free
My soul has more rings
than The Joshua Tree
Wisdom speaks, but the price
for the knowledge paid, reeks
A millisecond swaddled
is what my inner child seeks
Mommy
Daddy
Is there an end in sight?
I'm only three, and don't really
care who's wrong or right
My pillow shouldn't be sopping
almost every night
Aging every moment, I hear
the two of you fight
I'm only a child, too young to be old
Admit it, mommy and daddy, it's true
And when the Angel of Death finally
accepts me, my God, I'll be older than you....
