Lyrics

[Verse 1] At times, I feel old like I'm going out of style So I turn down the music on my FM dial I beg of you to come and listen for a while And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child This is my chance to escape today And I don't want to see my dreams chased away Inside the palace gates is where I stay Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play It's like the story of the little wooden boy Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy I heard it once or twice before The world is yours for you to explore I heard my calling as a child and I answered it When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit I'll be the sort of man you can't forget I used to stare up at the sky on my camping trips In this quiet night of quiet stars Of quiet chords on my guitar Kids out there, I know it might be hard But I realize how alive you are [Chorus] One day I'll travel from the East to the West And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh And it's clear my memories will one day disappear unless Do you remember? Yes, I remember Do you remember? [Verse 2] Some say the price of life has a costly amount When it comes to fights, I might've lost me a bout But I've never lost my head cause that would cost me a scalp So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics In '86 my whole crew was into dirt bikes Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose This is what makes my life so real I'll take my chances and spin the wheel I can't wait to grow up so I'll know the deal But right now I'm a child and this is how I feel My younger days were sort of tragic despite I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic I might need a little magic tonight Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life My rhymes helped me many times growing up Before keeping it real, all the days are blowing up I put on shows in my room, nobody showing up I'm just a little guy now, but when I'm old enough [Chorus] One day I'll travel from the East to the West And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess I'll always be young, see a young mind is fresh And it's clear my memories will one day disappear unless Do you remember? Yes, I remember Do you remember? Remember? That day in September Yes, I remember, do you remember? [Outro] That was my train of thought
