Mandy Moore - When Will My Life Begin

7 A.M., the usual morning lineup

Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean

Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up

Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15

And so I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit

And cook and basically

just wonder when will my life begin?

Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking

Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess

Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making

Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb

Sew a dress!

And I'll re-read the books

If I have time to spare

I'll paint the walls some more

I'm sure there's room somewhere

And then I'll brush and brush and brush and brush my hair Stuck in the same place I've always been

And I'll keep wondering and wondering and wondering and wondering

When will my life begin?

tomorrow night

lights will appear

Just like they do on my birthday each year

What is it like

out there where they glow?

Now that I'm older

Mother might just

let me go...
