When I was a child
I spoke as a child
I thought as a child
I understood as a child
But now I am a man
Won't you take me by the hand?
As we hit the road of life
The road looks long, but I'm ready
Both hands at the wheel they are steady
Detours used to take
Will only make or break
Here on the road to heaven on earth
Detours alter dreams
We justify the means
The means in our dreams
Make us long to leave
But when my dreams are met
I won't be thankful yet
'Til we hit the road of life
The road looks long, but I'm ready
Both hands on the wheel they are steady
Detours used to take
Will only make or break
Here on the road to heaven on earth
The road looks long, but I'm ready
Both hands on the wheel they are steady
Detours used to take
Will only make or break
Here on the road to heaven on earth
