Big eyes child seems it was only a little while
Since I could reach the bottom now it's an ocean away
Crept into the hallway to see if I could sleep
We didn't have much but it was enough for me
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody
And then when I get older
I'll let you stand on my shoulder
I'll be a rock a boulder
I'll be your spirit hand holder
And you're lying in some cold room
Thinking about what they told you
They all say they know you but they don't know you
And you're sleeping in the some cold house
With someone you don't care about
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody
And then when I get older
I'll let you stand on my shoulder
I'll be a rock a boulder
I'll be your spirit hand holder
Since I could reach the bottom now it's an ocean away
Crept into the hallway to see if I could sleep
We didn't have much but it was enough for me
When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody
I'll let you stand on my shoulder
I'll be a rock a boulder
I'll be your spirit hand holder
Thinking about what they told you
They all say they know you but they don't know you
And you're sleeping in the some cold house
With someone you don't care about
When I grow up I'm going to be a sunbeam
To drift and dream
When I grow up I'm not going to be anybody
I'll let you stand on my shoulder
I'll be a rock a boulder
I'll be your spirit hand holder
