it takes a long time

Let me smile
with the smile of a child
Let me be amazed
without the restrictions of 'how we should behave'

Let me laugh
so loud
That your heart can hear it
Let me cry
when I feel like

Let me be
who I am
Perfect in my way

And let me never loose
the child in me

Let me grow up
Let me get wiser
But never take away
how I was
when I was borne
And since when
I am amazed of all around me
every day
