Lyrics

TBOTB

What a nice day to go out and play with some friends
Round and round without a sound until the end
What a day well have it your way remember tomorrow
Oh boy what a joy where is sorrow

So young and so much fun I kiss the ground
So high on life bring me down
The cure for the future innocence
The cost innocence lost ignorance

(chorus)
I DON’T WANNA GROW UP NOW
I DON’T WANNA THINK ABOUT IT
HOLD ONTO MY CHILDHOOD
HOLD ONTO MY GOD

An adult another result of fortune and fame
Too smart for my heart knowledge is pain
I’ve a brain it’s not the same where’s my youth
Abused and so confused I know not what to do

My ways been paved an open heart
I must focus it’s time to start
The way, the truth and the life
There is a price to following christ

(chorus)

What a nice day to go out and play with some friends
So young and so much fun I kiss the ground
An adult another result of fortune and fame
My ways been paved an open heart

Abba father Elohim, can you take a heart so hard and burn it into clay
Can you take me can you shape me into a child again
