Alana Davis - Turtle

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 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 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 tomorrow anyway

And don't ask for the world on a plate 'cause you just might get it

Don't ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it because

Just when you think 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

Don'r ever it's too late you know you'll regret it because

Just when you're sure your life can change right 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...

Just when you're sure your life can change right before your eyes

Right before your eyes
