Running through waves and building sand castles
Playing in leaves and dancing in the rain
Building a snowman or just taking a pony ride
I don’t waste time shopping and hanging in malls
Id rather stay home playing with my sister and dolls
Why do we all grow up so very fast
The time goes by and its harder and harder to grasp
Instead of playing tag we talk on the phone
Its either gossip or who looks fat or plans for tomorrow
My imagination disappeared when I blew out that 10th candle
And into middle school I walked and now as a freshman I see
My mom was right ..take your time growing up she always told me
I just wanted makeup clothes and boys
Instead of legos dolls and toys
If I had one wish I would hold onto time
And be the little girl that got left behind…
