I want to be 5 years old again,
Without a care in the world,
Playing with doll and stuffed animal,
Making up stories and having them act them out
I want to swing on the swings again,
Without being told I’m too big,
Go play Barbies with my best friend.
I want to be 5 years old again,
When the worst thing that could happen
Was a broken crayon,
When me and my best friend
Would talk about our troubles,
We would only say,
‘I fought with my brother on Tuesday.’
Before going outside to play Pirates.
I want to be 5 years old again,
Life was so much simpler then
