When I was a child
The universe was made for me
On the day I was born
The world saw its first morning
To ensure I was happy and free
[chorus]
When will I be an adult, I said
When you start to think like an adult, said he
But he did not tell me when that would be
And the world still revolved around me
When I was a child
To lull little eyes to sleep
We sang songs of a gentler time
From before the Great Catastrophe
Thoughts in my head
Spinning me around
Every day I grew stronger as I ran
And in time I had grown into a man
[chorus]
When will I be an adult, I said
When you start to think like an adult, said he
But he did not tell me when that would be
Now the world no longer spins around me
