lyrics

Dearest child, I love your smile
Unveiling how you feel
It tells me more than any thousand words
For I know your smile is real

You are so young and so naive
As from an unknown never-land
What they tell you, you'll believe
Because you don't understand

That the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and succes
Is all you need
If you wanna be a big boy
You’ve gotta cheat

Hey little girl take a look at the world
And tell me what you see
That's what you'll grow up to be

No, life is not a fairytale
Where every dream come true
But it's yours to write - so write it well
'Cause the future world is you

If you stay young, if you're naive
And if you don't play the game
You are never to achieve
Anything but blame

Cause the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and success
Is all you need
If you wanna be a bigshot
You've gotta cheat

Hey little girl take a look at the world
And tell me what you see
That's what you'll grow up to be

Dadadadam - dadadaaa
Dadada - What will you grow up to be?

Yes, the world is a mess
With lies and greed
Money and success
Is all you need
If you wanna be a big boy
You’ve gotta cheat

But hey dearest child,
You shouldn't care what they say
Cause life is just a way
And it's your way
And the world you're gonna see
Is what you will let it be!
