I close my eyes when I get too sad.
I think thoughts that I know are bad.
Close my eyes and I count to ten.
Hope its over when I open them.
I want the things that I had before,
Like a Star Wars poster on my bedroom door.
I wish I could count to ten,
make everything be wonderful again.
Hope my Mom and I hope my Dad
figure out why they get so mad.
Hear them scream, hear them fight.
They say bad words that make me want to cry.
I close my eyes when I go to bed
and I dream of adventures that make me smile.
I feel better when I hear them say,
Everything will be wonderful some day.
Promises mean everything when you little and the
world so big. I just dont understand how
you can smile with all those tears in your eyes
and tell me everything is wonderful now.
I tell the kids that its all O.K.
I have to laugh so my friends dont know,
when the bell rings I just dont wanna go home.
I go to my room and I close my eyes,
I make believe that I have a new life.
I do believe you when you say,
Everything will be wonderful someday.
Promises mean everything when you're little and the
world's so big, so big, I just don't understand how
you can smile with all those tears in your eyes
and tell me everything is wonderful now.
