The Kid's Way

Life itself is way too short
To be taken too seriously.
It's just the grownup way however
Just take this tip from me.
Not so long ago when we were kids
We couldn't wait to get grown
To move out of momma's house
To be out on our own.
To do as we would please
Or so we all thought.
But the world has rules too
That's what our parents supposedly had taught.
Now whether we've learned those lessons
It was all up to each one of you.
Of the ones who did learn
There are quite a few.
So as we go through life now
The kid thing is all but gone.
We all do things the adult way now
But in essence, it takes away all the fun.
'Cause kids don't have a care in the world
There's no seriousness to anything with them.
If adults could just take a page from the kids
The chances of ever being stressed out would be slim.
So I don't know about you
But to ensure myself of a many a bright day
I'm gonna count my blessings for this revelation
And start doing more things the kids' way.
