When will my life begin

[00:13.43] Seven A.M., the usual morning lineup

[00:17.99] Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean

[00:22.24] Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up

[00:26.23] Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15

[00:30.74] And so I read a book

[00:32.86] Or maybe two or three

[00:34.99] I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

[00:39.24] I'll play guitar and knit

[00:41.63] And cook and basically

[00:44.02] Just wonder when will my life begin?

[00:57.92] Then after lunch, it's puzzles and darts and baking

[01:02.45] Paper mache, a bit of ballet, and chess

[01:06.96] Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making

[01:10.67] Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb

[01:13.86] Sew a dress!

[01:14.92] And I'll reread the books

[01:17.06] If I have time to spare

[01:19.47] I'll paint the walls some more

[01:21.59] I'm sure there's room somewhere

[01:23.73] And then I'll brush and brush

[01:26.12] And brush and brush my hair

[01:28.24] Stuck in the same place I've always been

[01:33.04] And I'll keep wondering and wondering

[01:35.69] And wondering and wondering

[01:38.08] When will my life begin?

[01:43.92] Tomorrow night

[01:47.12] The lights will appear

[01:51.64] Just like they do on my birthday each year

[02:01.20] What is it like

[02:05.76] Out there where they glow?

[02:10.54] Now that I'm older

[02:14.79] Mother might just

[02:17.45] Let me go
