Later, later, later

When I was younger I wanted to go everywhere

A boy with no care,

But when I said “can we go somewhere?”

The answer from adults was

“Later, later, later”

Now I am grown,

Yet I have my youthful soul

Though my bones aren’t any greater

And when I try to go like I did

When I was a kid,

My bones say,

“Later, later, later.”
