When I'm Older Lyrics

One day I'll be wiser when I'm older

Once I was shyer with a smolder

Once you used to sigh upon my shoulder

One day I will fly away with wonder

And I'll say

Don't look back when they tell you to

Don't look down as you are rising

Don't hold back when they say let loose

I see you crossing the line

You're right on my horizon

So many days have turned to years

So many ways can turn to fear

Why's it so easy to hold on

To things that are already gone?

One day I'll be wiser when I'm older

Once I was lower now I'm higher

One day I will die a toy soldier

One day I will sigh upon your shoulder

And you'll say

Don't look back when they tell you to

Don't look down when the waters rising

Don't hold back when they say let loose

I see you coming over the line

You're right on my horizon

One day I was younger and I saw it clear

I knew all of the ways that I'd get out of here

One day I'll be older without any fear

I can see you cross the line

You're right on my horizon

Don't look back when they tell you to

Don't look down when the waters rising

Don't hold back when they say let loose

I see you coming over the line

Don't look back when they tell you to

Don't look down when the waters rising

Don't hold back when they say let loose

I see you coming over the line

And now I see you smiling

You're right on my horizon
