Taller

Watch them grow, flowers in the sun

Beautiful daughters and troubled sons

Songs in their hearts, chips on their shoulders

See how they run, lambs to the slaughter

And Monday's child's lost on the border

And Wednesday's is way underwater

Remember the days when summers were lazy

And we only dreamt at night

Taller than the grass

I wish we never had to grow up

Taller than the grass

This too shall pass

Still, I wish we never had to grow up

Grow up so fast

Silver and gold, stories of old

Countlessly told, fates still unfold

See how they go, lost in the flow

Never to know until it's over

When Monday's child is a lost cause

And Wednesday's is way out of water

Remember the days when summers were hazy

And we only dreamt at night

Taller than the grass

I wish we never had to grow up

Taller than the grass

This too shall pass

Still, I wish we never had to grow up

Grow up so fast
