Memories from my childhood growing up in Brooklyn

Song Description

A look back at the different stages we go through as we grow; hopefully with a happy ending.

Lyrics

Life
When you are born you are cuddled and pampered and diapered and handled with loving care.
Life
When you reach two years you're walking and talking you seem to be popping up everywhere.
And when you're five how you're feeling alive as you go to your first day of school
Life
But children make fun of you teachers they punish you somehow you know you've been fooled.

Life
Twelve is a good age a subject to mood age when no one can figure you out.
Life
Locked in your bedroom with ten feet of head room to solve any problem you pout.
Oh if just once you could talk to someone who would listen and know what to do.
Life
But who's gonna know if you never let go and you spend all your time being blue.

Life
When you reach the age of twenty one.
Life
Legally your life has just begun.
Life
What you've done before don't matter none to no one 'cause your life's just begun twenty one.

Life
As you get old and the world becomes cold how you need a good shoulder to cry on.
Life
The pace becomes faster and you're your own master there's nobody else to rely on.
Suddenly someone appears from thin air to console you and hold you up high.
And somehow you know that wherever you go with that someone you'll always get by.
Life
Now you have what you've been waiting for
Life
Everything you want and so much more
Life
Doesn't matter what you had before anymore you'll endure evermore evermore...
Life life life.
Life life life.
Life life life.
Life life life.
