I went to see Matilda the musical last night, and it was fantastic. A must see if ever there was one, and this is the lyrics from a really lovely song called "when i grow up"....very timely for me at the moment.
When I grow up, I will be tall enough to reach the branches that I need to reach to climb trees you get to climb when you're grown up
And when I grow up, I will be smart enough to answer all the questions that you need to know the answers to before you're grown up.
And when I grow up, I will eat sweets everyday on the way to work and I will go to bed late every night
And I will wake up when the sun comes up and I will watch cartoons until my eyes go square and I won't care cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up
When I grow up, When I grow up, (When I grow up)
I will be strong enough to carry all the heavy things you have to hold around with you when you're a grown up.
And when I grow up, when I grow up (when I grow up), I will be brave enough to fight
creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed each night to be a grown up
When I grow up (When I grow up) I will have treats everyday and I'll play with things that Mom pretends that Moms don't think are fun
And I will wake up (I will wake up) when the sun comes up and I will spend all day just lying in the sun and I won't burn cause I'll be all grown up
When I grow up
When I grow up I will be brave enough to fight the creatures that you have to fight beneath the bed to be a grown up
When I grow up
Just because you find that life's not fair it doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it, if you always take it on the chin and wear it, nothing will change
When I grow up
Just because I find myself in this story, it doesn't mean that everything is written for me, if I think the ending is fixed or ready I might as well be saying I think that it's ok, and that's not right!
