When will my life begin?

[00:07.67] 7 AM, the usual morning lineup:

[00:12.72] Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean

[00:16.97] Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up

[00:21.21] Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15.

[00:25.46] And so I'll read a book

[00:27.58] Or maybe two or three

[00:29.72] I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

[00:34.23] I'll play guitar and knit

[00:36.35] And cook and basically

[00:38.75] Just wonder when will my life begin?

[00:51.50] Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking

[00:57.07] Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess

[01:01.58] Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making

[01:05.57] Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb,

[01:08.77] Sew a dress!

[01:10.08] And I'll reread the books

[01:11.95] If I have time to spare

[01:14.08] I'll paint the walls some more,

[01:16.20] I'm sure there's room somewhere.

[01:18.60] And then I'll brush and brush,

[01:20.71] and brush and brush my hair

[01:23.11] Stuck in the same place I've always been.

[01:27.88] And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'

[01:30.54] And wonderin' and wonderin'

[01:32.66] When will my life begin?

[01:37.71] And tomorrow night,

[01:41.96] Lights will appear

[01:46.21] Just like they do on my birthday each year.

[01:56.30] What is it like

[02:00.55] Out there where they glow?

[02:05.87] Now that I'm older,

[02:09.85] Mother might just

[02:12.50] Let me go ...
