Tell me, why can't I stay a child forever?
Why won't you let me be in my innocence?
Like the birds that fly and never tend to realize everything that happens around them
They sing away their fears all day and build their own nests
And nobody makes them feel like they're different
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
Tell me why you think I've never seen the rain
Why should I be the one to miss the downpour?
Because everyone tries to struggle and fight against whatever they can't control
And storms coming down too often drown the ones who thought they'd survive
Umbrellas can't save them now
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms

Tell me, why can't I stay a child forever?
Why won't you let me be in my innocence?
Like the birds that fly and never tend to realize everything that happens around them
They sing away their fears all day and build their own nests
And nobody makes them feel like they're different
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
Tell me why you think I've never seen the rain
Why should I be the one to miss the downpour?
Because everyone tries to struggle and fight against whatever they can't control
And storms coming down too often drown the ones who thought they'd survive
Umbrellas can't save them now
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
Why won't you let me be in my innocence?
Like the birds that fly and never tend to realize everything that happens around them
They sing away their fears all day and build their own nests
And nobody makes them feel like they're different
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
Tell me why you think I've never seen the rain
Why should I be the one to miss the downpour?
Because everyone tries to struggle and fight against whatever they can't control
And storms coming down too often drown the ones who thought they'd survive
Umbrellas can't save them now
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
And I'm not a robin, you can't use my nest
To hide your treasures
To hide your own fears
You don't realize what I realize
You just think I sit in the silence
I sit in the silence and sing my own tune
I'm not a dandelion you can use
To whisper your wishes to
Oh, don't blow away my blooms
