[00:00.00] When I grow up,
[00:05.54] I will be tall enough to reach the branches
[00:09.63] That I need to reach to climb the trees
[00:13.45] You get to climb when you're grown up.
[00:20.37] And when I grow up,
[00:25.28] I will be smart enough to answer all
[00:29.22] The questions that you need to know
[00:32.10] The answers to before you're grown up.
[00:39.28] And when I grow up,
[00:41.02] I will eat sweets every day,
[00:44.62] On the way to work, and I will
[00:47.80] Go to bed late every night.
[00:52.40] And I will wake up
[00:54.15] When the sun comes up, and I
[00:57.06] Will watch cartoons until my eyes go square,
[01:01.08] And I won't care 'cause I'll be all grown up.
[01:06.43] When I grow up
[01:14.37] When I grow up
[01:15.88] When I grow up
[01:17.47] When I grow up
[01:18.94] I will be strong enough to carry all
[01:22.39] The heavy things you have to haul
[01:25.58] Around with you when you're a grown up.
[01:32.57] And When I grow up
[01:34.12] When I grow up
[01:35.75] When I grow up
[01:37.20] I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
[01:40.90] That you have to fight beneath the bed
[01:44.33] Each night to be a grown up.
[01:49.27] And when I grow up,
[01:52.48] I will have treats every day,
[01:55.22] And I'll play with things that mum pretends
[01:59.16] That mums don't think are fun.
[02:01.21] And I will wake up
[02:04.56] When the sun comes up and I
[02:07.40] Will spend all day just lying in the sun.
[02:11.11] And I won't burn 'cause I'll be all grown up.
[02:16.44] When I grow up...
[02:32.90]
[02:34.21]
[02:40.83] When I grow up,
[02:46.08] I will be brave enough to fight the creatures
[02:50.48] That you have to fight beneath the bed
[02:54.86] Each night to be a grown up.
[03:00.46] When I grow up...
[03:01.56] Just because you find that life's not fair, it
[03:05.57] Doesn't mean that you just have to grin and bear it!
[03:09.75] If you always take it on the chin and wear it
[03:13.56] Nothing will change.
[03:17.81] Just because I find myself in this story,
[03:21.36] It doesn't mean that everything is written for me.
[03:25.05] If I think the ending is fixed already,
[03:29.05] I might as well be saying I think that it's OK,
[03:33.69] And that's not right!
[03:35.38]
