Mariah Carey

Album:

Butterfly

I was a wayward child 
With the weight of the world
That I held deep inside
Life was a winding road
And I learned many things
Little ones shouldn't know


But I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And though time's rolled by
Still I feel like that child 
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon


Funny how one can learn 
To grow numb to the madness 
And block it away
I left the worst unsaid
Let it all dissipate
And I try to forget


As I closed my eyes
Steadied my feet on the ground
Raised my head to the sky
And the time rolled by
Still I feel like a child 
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon


Nearind the edge
Oblivious I almost
Fell right over 
A part of me
Will never be quite able
To feel stable
That woman-child falling inside
Was on the verge of fading 
Thankfully I 
Woke up in time


Guardian angel I
Sail away on an ocean 
With you by my side
Orange clouds roll by 
They burn into you image 
And you're still alive
(You're always alive)


As I close my eyes 
Steady my feet on the ground 
Raise my head to the sky
And though time rolls by 
Still I feel like a child 
As I look at the moon
Maybe I grew up a little too soon
