Song / Poem

Way too Young

Suzanne Mondoux · 1 April 2020

Climbing the highest mountains before I could walk Reaching for the stars before I could dream Saying all that I desire before I knew who I was They told me I was way too young

Hmm, La, La, La, they told me I was way too young I had to live my life to know what I wanted Their words conflicted with my feelings deep inside I was way too young to ignore my inner feelings

Some people think they know you better than you know yourself What do I know, I’m way too young Not enough mistakes to fall back on to remind me where I went wrong Not enough mistakes to show me the way

I’m way too young the know the difference anyway What’s done is done and count your blessings they say Don’t be so foolish to think dreams come true I’m way too young to understand it seems what can and cannot be

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Hmm, Hmm, Hmm In someone else’s light I’m way too young to know my own soul But they forget I am my own soul and I see my light Shine more light on me instead of blowing out my candle

I’m way too young to give up on me I’m way too young to forget who I am I’m way too young to never explore my dreams Hmm, La, La, La, Hmm, La, La, La

It’s a world of wonder for those who are way too young to join the world someone else created I’m way too young to stop creating a world for me, a new world for me I see you pray for something I’m way too young not to be still and say thank you

I’m way too young to become anyone but me Stand with me with a candle in one hand and guide me to me I’m way too young to forget why you created me I’m way too young for anything else but being me
