Becoming

I used to wish

To be an older kid

Cause' they played on fields

And everyone cheered

I grew tough

I got stained in grass and love

So I stood up tall

But underneath I still crawled

I thought that by that point

I'd feel less noise

Oh the fight is never won

I give up on feeling young

Tell me when will I be done becoming?

And now I try

To build into the sky

Where I hope to find

A feeling of peace

My tower soars

I build a hundred floors

But this structure grows

On my childhood woes

I thought that by this point

I'd feel less noise

Oh the fight is never won

I give up on feeling young

Tell me when will I be done becoming?

There was a freedom in the dirt

My feet connected with the earth

I never thought to measure my worth

Oh the fight is never won

I give up on feeling young

Tell me when will I be done becoming?
