Raffi - Wish I Were A Child Again lyrics

Wish I were a child again Right back in my mama's arms With the big kids in this world acting so crazy I wish I were a little boy. When I was 2, I felt so secure Plumped but happy, naive and but self-a**ured. And now all this growing up stuff just leave me dizzy And I wish I was a little boy. Sand in the sandbox, a bathtub and a boat Chew a bunch of bubble gum to keep the thing a-float. A castle for my home, a bucket round my head A long day at the beach will your bum red. Room and board are free, the meals are served on time. Spend an afternoon deciding how to spend the dime. No worries about the rent or payments on the car. No need to be confused about the why of who you are. Wish I were a child again Right back in my mama's arms With the big kids in this world acting so crazy I wish I were a little boy. When I was 2, I felt so secure Plumped but happy, naive and but self-a**ured. And now all this growing stuff up just leave me dizzy And I wish I were a little boy. What used to pa** for candy is now a hole inside my tooth. The dreams they tried to sell me were a smokescreen around the truth. Don't you know it takes a lot to keep from giving up? This day to day frustration of a bitter second cup. The news is all around, our world is full of fire and hate. It isn't all too early to sense the hours late. And what kind of time is this think of having kids? The future's looking shaky and the present gives me fits. I wish I were a child again Right back in my cuddly mama's arms With the big kids in this world acting so crazy I wish I were a little boy. When I was 2, I felt so secure Plumped but happy, naive and but self-a**ured. And now all this growing up stuff just leave me dizzy And I wish I was a little boy. Yes, I wish I were a little Boy.
