Lyrics in Progress

Normally I have difficulty writing for very young musicians. There lives simply differ quite too much from mine. Well, my lyrics for Karsten's song "18" have gotten a bit too young, I'm afraid. We might have to name it "16" instead:

the party is
in full swing
I got to go
I should be off now
mustn't miss a thing
in full swing

there is one thing I got to say
Mum and Dad, I don't want to cause you sorrow
I'll be off, but I'll be back tomorrow
when I come and I should not be sober
that just means that my childhood days are over

I can't wait
I'm ready to be free
and take my life in my hands

you will see
that I have found the key
and I'll discover new lands

why can't they take
me seriously
why can't they just put some trust in me
well, never mind
they'll have to see

there is one thing I got to say
Mum and Dad, I don't want to cause you sorrow
I'll be off, but I'll be back tomorrow
when I come and I should not be sober
that just means that my childhood days are over

I can't wait
I'm ready to be free
and take my life in my hands

you will see
that I have found the key
and I'll discover new lands

be free
that's me
they will have to see

Mum and Dad, I don't want to cause you sorrow
I'll be off, but I'll be back tomorrow
when I come and I should not be sober
that just means that my childhood days are over

I can't wait
I'm ready to be free
and take my life in my hands

wait and see
what will become of me
I may surprise my old friends

you will see
that I have found the key
and I'll discover new lands

I can't wait
I'm ready to be free
and take my life in my hands
