What It's Like

I’ve been sitting pretty. I’ve been standing still.
But, you move me to pieces with just your force of will.
And, oh, how much I suffer for all my thinking small
while you walk up in wonder and have no fear at all
and now I’d like to know what it’s like

to have the world at your command,
drop the reigns when life gets heavy in your hands.
With a spark of youth and a heart so full,
you’re my living proof that everything is possible
and now I’d like to know what it’s like

to be you as you’re living every moment.
Must be nice to be you taking life with arms wide open.
I think I’d like to know what it’s like

Will you show the world to me, the one I need to know,
with the innocence you see so I can watch you go, watch you go.
And you keep running with your head held high, your arms outstretched,
a smile the only reason why.
And now I’d like to know what it’s like

to be you as you’re living every moment.
Must be nice to be you taking life with arms wide open.
I think I’d like to know what that’s like.I can love you like me. I can love you like me in this song
