you were a kid once Lyrics

When I was three I ran down mountaintops

Just to climb back up

My mama laughed so free so did my pops

As they watched my stubby legs run

When I was five I played the piano

I slammed on all the keys

I sang cacophonies, put on a show

Carried by the window breeze

At the age of eight I read some books

I filled up all my shelves

Their pages wrinkled from the baths they took

In their worlds I bathed myself

At nine I raised my hand a thousand times

Asking who what where when why

I told myself, "Dylan, you're sure to find"

Answers in that boundless sky

Little did you know the sky would change

Your vision worsens and the world grows strange

Your rosy glasses bypass all the dangers

I should have told ya

You will be older

Oh, but you were a kid once

The road may get colder

But don't let go
