They'd shout at me when I was chasing rainbows

They'd shout at me for staring at the moon

Nothing came soon enough to satisfy me

The fun was always over all to soon

The child in me didn't know where the end was

The child in me didn't know things sometimes cost

The child in me had faith that there was some way

To find your way back home when you got lost



Little by little, I'm disappearing

Little by little, I'm learning fear

I'm stuck on the endless freeway going nowhere

Little by little, I disappear



They'd shout at me when they caught me dreaming

They'd shout at me when I climbed too high

Little drops of water were amazing

Just like the creatures in the clouds up in the sky

The child in me ran breathless down the hillside

The child in me always made up songs

The child in me could see somebody naked

And never think that anything was wrong



Little by little, I'm disappearing

Little by little, I'm learning fear

I'm stuck on the endless freeway going nowhere

Little by little, I disappear
