When I Grow Up

When I grow up

I'll be the hero

Of my story book

I'll start at zero

And rise and fall

And rise and fall again

My head, my heart

I'll fly into the wind.

When I grow up

The sun will greet me

And every day

I'll meet it completely

I'll catch each wave and swim until I'm tired

I'll practice every move

so inspired.

When I grow up

I'll be good and strong

I'll create a world where I belong

When I grow up

When I grow up

I'll be who I want to

I'll take every turn

With purpose and see through

The ups and downs

The hills, the starry skies

The beautiful beginning and reprise

When I grow up
