i knew this kid, his name was michael
he was only four years old
we sat on a rock and started talkin'
and he told me things i didn't know
he said yesterday he was an indian
and how he played with buffalo
well, i got a sense that he had been there
and he made me really wanna go
[chorus:]
remember waitin' all year for december
thought god was cryin' when it rained
and that the stars were fireflies
dreams were real and big as life
it was forever everyday
i was tuckin' in my little girl
she held my hand and we said a prayer
i prayed, "bless grandma with the angels."
and she said, "hey mom, she's standin' over there."
well, i couldn't see her but i don't doubt it
maybe 'cause i'm older and less wise
what if heaven's all around us
but only seen through children's eyes
[repeat chorus]
they say when you're old you're a child again
but do we have to wait 'till then
[repeat chorus]
forever
