When I Was Younger
|
(T. Baiyewu)
|
|
When I was younger
|
I seem to remember
|
Holding a finger while walking to
|
Mother standing
|
|
By ten I could tell her
|
"I'll love you forever
|
And I'll tread on the stars just to be with you
|
Notwithstanding"
|
|
When staring into her naked face
|
Yes, I wished my eyes would never stray
|
|
She said why cry little baby
|
Why cry yeh yeh
|
Why cry pretty baby
|
Wipe your eyes yeh yeh
|
|
Now I am older
|
I don't sit on her shoulder
|
To gaze over worlds that are lower to
|
The higher standing
|
|
Instead I'm staring into your ageless face
|
Yes, and I wish my eyes will never stray
|
|
So why cry little baby
|
Why cry yeh yeh
|
Why cry pretty baby
|
Wipe your eyes yeh yeh
|
|
Why should you worry
|
You know there'll be an answer
|
When you call
|
So don't you push or be in a hurry
|
'Cause learning how to stand
|
Is why you fall
|
|
When I was younger
|
I seem to remember
|
Holding a finger while walking to
|
Mother standing
|
