Child Within
Down inside this grownup
Lives a child that used to be
When I look into a mirror
She stares right back at me
Now that I’m a grownup
It’s an older face I see
The child’s still there, hiding
Way down deep inside of me
Sometimes we work together
That little girl and me
She comes out of her hiding place
And we write poetry
I like being grownup
I wouldn’t wanna swap
Well...
Maybe a little younger face
With no grey hair on top
