Lyrics

I WANNA BE
Craig Moreau

I'm a veteran of imaginary wars
fought for god and country in Mama's kitchen floor
A guerrilla in the bushes a sailor in the pool
at forty one still fighting some and feeling like a fool

I wanna be (I wanna be) just like you when you grow up
I wanna see (I wanna see) all the dreams your dreaming of
So let's not haste time is too damn costly to waste

Scars are healing skinned knees to broken bones
And midnight still gets darker when your sitting there alone
When dimples turn to wrinkles from playing in the sun
There's no more stars to wish on we've wasted the last one

I wanna be (I wanna be) just like you when you grow up
I wanna see (I wanna see) all the dreams your dreaming of
So let's not haste time is too damn costly to waste

The time has come now To put our toys away
Stand up straight and tow the line and promise we won't stray
Pay attention to the golden rule do everything we can
Say goodbye to the boy inside and welcome home the man

I wanna be (I wanna be) just like you when you grow up
I wanna see (I wanna see) all the dreams your dreaming of
So let's not haste time is too damn costly to waste

I wanna be (I wanna be) just like you when you grow up
I wanna see (I wanna see) all the dreams your dreaming of
So let's not haste time is too damn costly to waste
