Carl Eaton - As A Child Lyrics

I'm tired of serious talk
I want to walk into battle
Living my life by the book
I overlooked what mattered

Life is too short and I'm tired of all of the stress and all of the rules
Sitting here numb and surrounded by fools

Building a castle or sailing an ocean of blue
Spending my time as a child
By a river or flying a ship to the moon
Living my life as a child

I'm gonna play in the sand
Forget life's demands and the pressures
Throwing my dues to the wind
Wearing a grin, live by leisure

Don't want the worry of day to day chores, I don't want a care in the world
I want the simplicity before life unfurled

Jump of the edge, spread my wings till I'm flying away
Spending my time as a child
Like the class clown or the hero that's saving the day
Living my life as a child

I'm gonna learn how to dream again
And look out with innocent eyes
There's too much formality, no singularity
I wish to reach for the skies

Climbing a mountain or winning a race in my mind
Spending my time as a child
Score the goal, or just bask in the treasures I find
Living my life as a child"
