| I picked you up from school today
|
| Should have seen the look on your face
|
| Said you were an astronaut
|
| And just went to the moon
|
| And next week you’ll be flying planes
|
| As Spider-Man to save the day
|
| You don’t know your dreams will change, but I do
|
| And I know your first sip of mom’s rum
|
| Won’t be when you turn twenty-one
|
| And not every friend that you meet at fifteen
|
| Will be there at fifty, and I know
|
| The world can be quite scary
|
| Make you feel so ordinary
|
| Tell you who you’ll be before you’re six
|
| You’re gonna have to fall a few times
|
| Before you finally hit your stride
|
| Hope you don’t forget to take a risk
|
| 'Cause you’re just a kid
|
| Dropped you off at school today
|
| Wish you’d see the look on your face
|
| Didn’t want your friends to see
|
| Your sister, you’re too cool
|
| You’re sixteen now and you’re doing fine
|
| School sucks, but you’ll be alright
|
| Got nothing figured out, ah, no
|
| And I know you’re gonna feel heartbreak
|
| You’re gonna have lots of bad days
|
| Some of your friends will be fake and two-faced
|
| It’s too much to take in, and I know
|
| The world can be quite scary
|
| Make you feel so ordinary
|
| Tell you who you’ll be before you’re six
|
| You’re gonna have to fall a few times
|
| Before you finally hit your stride
|
| Hope you don’t forget to take a risk
|
| 'Cause you’re just a kid
|
| Time goes by a little quicker
|
| I’ll always be your big sister
|
| Love you to the moon and back
|
| And this, Austin, I promise |
