only a kid at heart gerry beckley solo

America

There you are crying grown up tears
But they re coming from your childhood fears
I know you re only a kid at heart

In this world of compromise
Come over here and dry your eyes
Sometimes everything falls apart, I know
When you re only a kid at heart

From a childhood memory (my heart)
To a place we ll never see
Look what we ve done

Once you were safe and warm
Now life s an endless storm
Always waking you in the dark

Now you re built of faith and fear
Trying to make it through the year
It s hard to figure out a place to start, I know
When you re only a kid at heart

From a childhood memory (you know my heart)
To a place we ll never see
Look what you ve done

In the time it takes
Through each mistake
See what you ve become
I know you re only a kid at heart
(I know you re only a kid at heart)
I know you re only a kid at heart

Started out as a bedtime story
Turned into a fight for glory
Sometimes it s hard to make your mark
When you re only a kid at heart

Hard to tell
Where the stories end
And nighttime dreams begin
When you re only a kid at heart
(I know you re only a kid at heart)
I know you re only a kid at heart
