Kid for a Minute

I was you not that long ago
And my parents were me
I was two, my brother coming home
For the first time in my first memory
Now I’m older than I thought I’d ever be
And you’re getting older too
But you’re bolder and live more confidently
Than I did when was as young as you
I can’t fathom life without you in it
How is it that so much time has passed?
I was a kid for only a minute
And I don’t want you to grow up so fast
One child, two, three and now four
But last I checked I was just a kid
I was wild, warring with the ocean’s shore
Now I keep my distance from it
You’re the wild ones now, not me
You’re the ones reaching for the stars
Wait a while if you can, don’t speed
Out of childhood’s light into the dark
I can’t fathom life without you in it
How is it that so much time has passed?
I was a kid for only a minute
I don’t want you to grow up so fast
I can’t fathom life without you in it
How is it that so much time has passed?
I was a kid for only a minute
I don’t want you to grow up so fast
Feels like you were born yesterday
And I was a child the day before
But you are growing like a seed in the rain
And I am not a child anymore
Let’s make the most of our time together
Make the most of your childhood while you’re in it
Cos we only have so much time together
And you’re only a kid for a minute
And you’re only a kid for a minute
And you’re only a kid for a minute
And you’re only a kid for a minute
And you’re only a kid for a minute

Yours Alone

You come through me but not from me.
You belong to nobody.
I give you my love but not my thoughts.
You can receive from what I teach
But you belong to nobody
And I won’t try to make you into what you’re not
Because you are not mine.
I can’t hold on to you like a stone.
You are yours and yours alone.
You come through me but not from me.
You belong to nobody.
I give you my love but not my beliefs.
You can agree or not with me
Because you belong to nobody
And when the time comes I’ll send you off debt free
Because you are not mine.
I can’t hold on to you like a stone.
You are yours and yours alone.
