I wish I were a child
Pure and sweet
Where the world was magical
And the world had no limits
I wish I were a child
I wish I could run in the yard
And draw in chalk in the street
I wish I were a child
I wish I could dance and not look like a fool
And when there was no drama
I wish I were a child
When everything was new
And nothing reminded me of you
I wish I were a child
When paradise was just around the river bend
And my prince in shiny armor was coming for me
The princess, the damsel in distress
Oh, I wish I were a child
When sides were a teleportation device
And a swing were my wings
I wish I were a child
When boys were my friends
And girls drama were just in the movies
I wish I were a child
When all my books had happy endings
And the saddest movie I saw
Was one where a dog died
I really, deeply wish I were a child
