(INTRO) "Please, may you arrive home safely" "I love you" (Verse 1) A child Where the only safe haven was her mother I just wanted her to arrive safely And give me a big hug Her life meant my life I wish my worry had been just that (Verse 2) This child was growing up And the fears appeared Anxiety came like a monster from nightmares But in real life (Pre-Chorus) I didn't know what it was or why I just felt, thought and cried I wanted help But I didn't know how to speak Because I was afraid of being labeled (Nobody understood, Not at home, not anywhere) (Chorus) I wish I had been a child who only played Laughed and thought nonsense But I was one who was afraid of not reaching eighteen I wish I had dreamed of good things But I dreamed of staying alive until then (Verse 3) Every day was a struggle What could I do to be happy Even if it was just for a moment Like a bird, I wanted to fly But I had my wings clipped every day All this while being a child (Child Child Chiiild) (Chorus) I wish I had been a child who only played Laughed and thought nonsense But I was one who was afraid of not reaching eighteen I wish I had dreamed of good things But I dreamed of staying alive until then (Bridge) But I reached 18 and passed it I celebrate this achievement every day Because I thought it was impossible And I am so grateful for it (You were really strong and you still are) (Chorus) I wish I had been a child who only played Laughed and thought nonsense But I was one who was afraid of not reaching eighteen I wish I had dreamed of good things But I dreamed of staying alive until then Eighteeeennnn
