When I grow up I'm gonna be a monogamous man
I'll be the rural, urban, white-suburban renaissance man
I'll have the heart of a Lion and the tin man's back
And the awkward body motions that the scarecrow has
And, Dorothy, you'll be safe in my arms
Never worrying when that wicked witch'll come
And Toto, you know there's a basket on my handles
With your name on it
A place to sit
And I will always be
Your stranger
My nameless passer by
Forever
When I grow up I'm gonna be a stu-stu-stuttering man
And I'mma speak like a king like I know that I can
I'll have the patience to wait, wait, wait
For the eagles to come, come, come
And when I'm on a plane I'll think of what you said to me
And maybe I can fall asleep at least until my lungs give out
I'm not that insane
Just crazy
But that's just the way
He made me
And at the point at which I realized it was destined to fail
And I said "I don't know, get out of the way"
The angel in the garden said
"Where do you think you're going?"
And I said "I think I'm going to stay"
And the burning blade, it seared
My aching lungs and beard and I don't know
If it'll all be worth it but hey!
At least I can say that I gave it everything that I had in me
In the life of dandelions
No one knows where you will fly
So why not try to catch a drift
To take you skyward
With the moon as destination
And the promise of a journey full of greatness
And though I'll never make one small step for man
I'll make a thousand in-between
So why not try to save
The whole world?
Maybe I'll save one small soul
And that's enough
When I look down
At all my scars
I'll have to laugh
'Cause looking back
There's even a great story
For the little scratch
I have on my left knuckle
But it took every bit of strength
To roll that boulder up the mountain
Painful, each and every day
But with every broken bone
And dumb mistake
I grew a little bit wiser
What I life I had!
And what a life I gave away!
To be able to say
"Boy, I'm so glad I didn't try to do it my way"
And as a wise old man, I'll tell you
Everything's not quite what you'd expect
And everything I thought I'd regret
Made me a well-tempered man
