It'll be hard to grow up
Before you do
You, who are gonna ask all those questions
I'll pretend to know best
It'll be hard
But it'll be the way it has to
I'll put the toys away
I'll try to grow up
It'll be hard to apologize to you
For a world that is what it is
I try a little something, for what I can
But changing it is difficult
It'll be hard
To say happy birthday to you
Birthday by birthday
You go away from me a little bit more
In your own way
You'll go
In your own way
You'll walk and fall, you'll get up again
Always in your own way
It'll be hard to see you from behind
On the path you'll take
All the traffic signals
All the prohibitions
And the queues you'll avoid
It'll be hard
While slowly you'll get away
Looking by yourself
Who you're gonna be
In your own way
You'll go
In your own way
You'll walk and fall, you'll get up again
Always in your own way
In your own way
You'll see
In your own way
You'll swing, jump, change
Always in your way
It'll be hard
Leave you to the world
And keep a little piece for me
And in the middle of
Your Ring Around the Rosie
Not being able to protect you
It'll be hard
But it'll be even too easy
While you turn around
And keep on laughing
In your own way
You'll go
In your own way
You'll walk and fall, you'll get up again
Always in your own way
In your own way
You'll see
In your own way
You'll swing, jump, change
Always in your own way
