Just Wanna Be A Kid/ Remix by Rebel Jones

me live I just, I just wanna be a kid [Bridge] Grown folks talk like I gotta choose sides I just want swingsets, long slides One more sleepover, one more ride One more day where my biggest fight Is who get first turn, who get first bite (hey!) [Chorus] I just wanna be a kid again (hey!) Run around, scrape my knees, that’s it (that’s it) Let the whole world spin, I quit I don’t wanna think about the sick, the rich, the clicks I just wanna be a kid again (kid again) Tag, hide-and-seek, that hit Turn it all off, just let me live I just, I just wanna be a kid (yeah) I just, I just wanna be a kid (one time) I just, I just wanna be a kid [Verse - Spoken Word: The singing fades into the background as a smooth, soulful instrumental takes over. The delivery is intimate, calm, and deeply reflective, right against the microphone] [Verse 1 - Spoken Word: The original song's instrumentation continues smoothly as your delivery starts intimate, calm, and deeply reflective] As child we are all born with the sight, The sight to see all even that, that they tell us does not exist, Can you remember the age you became partial and pushed into only half the world, only half the life you once lived, [Soulful R&B Vocal Hook - A rich, soulful background vocal melody sweeps in over a warm electric piano chord, singing with deep nostalgia] I just wanna be a kid again... Take me back to where it all began... I just wanna be a kid again... [Bridge - Spoken Word: Your voice returns over gentle, weeping orchestral string swells] Can you remember the day you broke your oldest friends heart, the one they called imaginary, a forgotten gift, As we grow older our hearts grow dark, as we loose that child we once used to be, We loose sight of the shine that filled our once bright hearts, And the saddest part is some children never get that from the start, [Soulful R&B Vocal Hook - The melody repeats, layered with soft, layered harmonies that echo behind your thoughts] I just wanna be a kid again... Yeah, I just wanna be a kid again... [Verse 2 - Spoken Word: The mellow drum pocket drops back in, driving your words with a steady, reflective pulse] When we mature as they say and put silly notions away, become professional, Your grown folk now, There's no more room for dreams and dragons, Pay your taxes, the markets crashing, The daily rush, the moment to moment stress, Somebody tell me why we're all in such a godforsaken rush, [Outro Climax - Spoken Word: Your voice grows in raw intensity, delivering the final lines with absolute clarity and deep heartbreak] A rush to our demise, A rush to end our lives before its time, And why not? After all we killed our innocent inner child long ago. [Outro - The main instruments slowly fade away. The soulful R&B vocal gently ad-libs the hook one last time into the distance over a quiet, fading piano loop] [Background Singer]: I just wanna be a kid again... [Spoken Whisper]: Rebel Jones. [Background Singer]: Just a kid again... [Spoken Whisper]: ©rebeljones. [Fade Out] [End]
