People say I was your age
Way back in the day
You're just a child they say
And people say take your time
Go outside and play you're just a baby
But I say you have never been this old
Never had to brave such cold
Dressed in your summer clothes
'Cuz there are things you gotta do to
Keep that roof for yourself and your momma too
But I know who I am
And where I plan to go
'Cuz the age of my flesh
Ain't the age of my soul
This is somethin' I have come to know
'Cuz I'm a child but I'm also fully grown
And where do the memories come from?
Where are they stored in the brain?
If a mystery like this didn't exist than I
Guess it's fair to say
I'm a child but I'm also fully grown
'Cuz the age of my flesh
Ain't the age of my soul
Wisdom doesn't grow on trees
Your gray hair don't mean nothin' to me
Show me your soul and then I'll see
Show me your soul and I'll believe
'Cuz people say I was your age
Way back in the day
You're just a baby
And people say take your time
Go outside and play you're just a child they say
But I say you have never been this old
Never had to brave such cold
Dressed in your summer
Dressed in your summer clothes
