“Words of Wisdom”

Momma once said, momma once said

Don’t try, and grow up too fast

Don’t grow up too fast, grow up too fast

You’ll surely be wishing for your innocence back

These years will pass you by, like rushing water

And the shifting sands of time, they will yield no longer

Oh, momma said, my momma said,

Momma said, yeah momma said,

Don’t grow up too fast

Poppa told me, poppa told me

Don’t work too hard, you’ll be working for your life

Don’t work too hard dear, You work too hard

I can see it in your eyes, you are run by your 9 to 5

And life’s too short to let the man pull you under

Get consumed by your working life, you will live no longer

Poppa said, yeah poppa said

Poppa said, yeah poppa said

Don’t work too hard

Ma and Pa, where are you now?

I’m stuck in a rut and I can’t get out.

Your words of wisdom

I need them now

Don’t grow up fast,

Don’t work to hard,

Don’t die young
