Like A Little Kid

Time was like a lightning bolt

For such a long, long time,

Then, there came the vacuum

To suck all of that up.

I wasn't prepared.

I simply wasn't prepared,

And I don't know if I ever will be, sir.

I have always aimed to capture the world,

To place it in the palm of my grasp.

So far, I haven't had any luck.

What will I ever do now?

Well, I saw that my ship was sinking fast,

And I needed to ensure I'd have air,

For you see, my friends, unlike my peers,

My life has yet to have even begun.

Love is, to me, a stranger,

And my career hasn't even spun.

I want the world, and God should give it to me.

I just want to know when His Will and mine will be done.

I've never thought that the world is too much,

For in fact, I'm a super-duper mastermind.

To me, it's just a matter of time

Before all is right, and all is mine.

I just know that in many ways

I'm like a little kid,

A youngster with sparkling dreams and bright, wide eyes.

I aspire to things above the ordinary,

And I want to reach up and touch the sky.

Perhaps I'm just a bit of a megalomaniac,

And indeed, that may be so.

Friends and family often say to me

That I expect too much too soon,

But I simply reply that the world's good enough for me.
