Lenka and the Wisdom of a Child

Recently a friend gave me Lenka's new CD for Christmas. I admit I do like the album and three songs get played over and over again. As I was returning from shopping the other day my grand-daughter Sydney (5 years old) was riding with me. She also likes this album. And surprise surprise she likes the same three tracks: Track 1 The Show, Track 8 Trouble is Your Friend and Track 11 We Will Not Grow Old.

After 2 hours of hearing the CD Sydney started only playing those three tracks. As Track 11 - We Will Not Grow Old played for the umpteenth time Sydney makes the following statement.

"I have a long way to go before I am old. If your a teenager your getting old fast. You and Nana are already old."

You and me will be lying side by side
Forever, forever
Underneath the adolescent sky
Together, together
And you will hold my heart inside your hand
And you will be the one, the one to tell me

Oh, we've got a long way to go
To get there
We'll get there
But oh, if there's one thing that we know
It's that we will never get old...

You made me swear that our hearts will never die
No never, no never
'Cause no one seems to believe that we can fly
Forget them, forget them
Oh...you told me

Oh, how could we know that day, it came with age.
That oh, the feeling would fade...
