When will my life begin

[00:04.26] "When Will My Life Begin?"

[00:14.23] 7 AM, the usual morning lineup:

[00:18.22] Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean,

[00:22.96] Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up

[00:26.73] Sweep again,

[00:27.95] And by then

[00:29.21] It's like 7:15.

[00:30.98] And so I'll read a book or maybe two or three

[00:35.70] I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

[00:39.95] I'll play guitar and knit, and cook and basically

[00:44.47] Just wonder when will my life begin?

[00:58.24] Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts, and baking

[01:02.98] Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess

[01:07.22] Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making

[01:11.22] Then I'll stretch,

[01:12.47] Maybe sketch,

[01:13.73] Take a climb, sew a dress!

[01:15.96] And I'll reread the books if I have time to spare

[01:19.98] I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere.

[01:24.47] And then I'll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hair

[01:29.00] Stuck in the same place I've always been.

[01:33.74] And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin', and wonderin', and wonderin'

[01:38.74] When will my life begin?

[01:44.74] Tomorrow night the lights will appear

[01:48.46] Just like they do on my birthday each year.

[02:02.71] What is it like out there where they glow?

[02:10.99] Now that I'm older, mother might just let me go.
