Through the Years

When I grow up,

I’m gonna be a princess.

I’m gonna buy a castle

and live happily ever after. That’ll be me…

Well, maybe not.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna have lots of money.

I’m gonna buy a mansion

and live happily ever after.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna solve the world.

I’m gonna travel every corner

and leave my mark. That’ll be me…

Well, maybe not.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna make a difference.

I’m gonna do things right

and travel the world on a shoestring.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna buy me a house.

I’m gonna invest in my future

and travel to Paris. That’ll be me…

Well, maybe not.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna invest in their future.

I’m gonna raise them to care

and not make the same mistakes as me.

When I grow up,

I’m gonna be ready for tomorrow.

I’m gonna take another breath

and accept my mistakes. That’ll be me…

Well, mostly.

When I grow up,

I’ll count my blessings.

I’ll welcome each day –

for it’s all we ever have. And all I hope.
