Alana Davis Letter
Oh yeah
Little boy wishes he wasn't small

He'd give his turtle to be six feet tall

He's got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall

And he'd try a jump shot but he's afraid he'll fall down
Little girl wants to fall in love

Dressed like her mother in white evening gloves

She pretends, tells her friends she's got somewhere to go

They don't ask where so, they'll never know how she feels
With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry

Let the moment last, there's no need to worry
We should be living for today or for tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate
'Cause you just might get it
And don't ever say it's too late

You know you'll regret it because just when you're sure

Your life can change right before your eyes
A mother's thinking of her little boy

Left home at sixteen back in '84

He's got a dog named Lucy, says she's all that he needs

Lucy knows better, she hears all his dreams
When you search yourself, when you get down to it

If you know yourself, you know you'll get through it
So start living for today or tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate

'Cause you just might get it
And don't ever say it's too late

You know you'll regret it now just when you're sure

Your life can change right before your eyes, before your eyes
With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry

Don't grow too fast there's no need to worry
Start living for today or tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate

'Cause you just might get it
Don't you ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it

Yeah, don't try to turn the hands of fate, if it rains, you got to let it

And don't ever say it's too late 'cause you know you'll regret it now
Just when you're sure
Your life can change right before your eyes

Right before your eyes
