I got a gift,
It was a new start.
A clean slate,
That cleansed my heart.
It wasn't in the best paper,
But it was filled with love.
The gift was what I needed,
Sent from the Saviour above.

Too many people grow up. That&#039;s the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up. They forget. They don&#039;t remember what it&#039;s like to be 12 years old. They patronize, they treat children as inferiors. Well I won&#039;t do that.
