I Want To

I Want To

Verse 1

When logic tells me:
“Please be rational and wise,”

The kid inside me screams:
“No way!” and starts to rise.

This is the law of freedom,
a miracle so sweet,

To jump with happy cheers
right into muddy feet.

Verse 2

With no accounts to give,
and no excuses made,

This is the waving flag
that leaves them in the shade.

“But why?” the adults ask, with
wrinkles on their brow,

And you just fire a word,
and then a sentence now:

Chorus

Because I feel like it –
though it makes no sense at all,

There are no maybes here,
no one will make me small!

I’ll scream and go insane,
I don’t care what they say,

And if you keep on bugging
me – I’ll stare you down today!

Verse 3

“Because. I feel like it.” – and let
the world ignite!

Or come and play with me up
on the tree tonight.

I’m tired of being smart,
polite and acting old,

I’m going to the sandbox,
let the world unfold!

Chorus

Because I feel like it –
though it makes no sense at all,

There are no maybes here,
no one will make me small!

I’ll scream and go insane,
I don’t care what they say,

And if you keep on bugging
me – I’ll stare you down today!

Outro

So take your boring rules
and fly out of my sight,

I am the garden king, I
hold the power tight –

And if you keep on bugging
me, I’ll splash you in the eye!
