The truth is my youth is over.
When did it slip away?
Don’t really know when I got old.
Can’t point to a single day.

When I knew yep, I’m a grown-up.
My toys are gone for good.
I’ve got responsibilities.
It’s clearly understood.

That grown-ups must be practical;
Mature. steadfast, and strong.
You’re the people your friends  run to
When the world’s gone awfully wrong.

You’re a college grad, a neighbor.
A boss, employee, a friend.
You might not always feel grown-up
You may have to pretend

That you know what you are doing.
You get what life’s about.
If you should stumble as you go,
Your shrink will help you out.
