Knew this kid his name was michael
He was only four years old
We sat on a rock and started talkin
And he told me things i didn't know
He said yesterday he was an indian
And how he played with buffalos
I got a sense that he had been there
He made me really wanna go
I remember waitin all year for december
Thought god way cryin when it rained
And that the stars were fireflies
Dreams were real and big as life
It was forever everyday
I was tuckin in my little girl
She hed my hand we said a prayer
I prayed bless grand maw with the angels
She said hey mom she's standin over there
I couldn't see her but i don't doubt it
Maybe cause i'm older and less wise
What if heaven's all around us
But only see through children's eyes
They say that when you're old you're a child again
But do we have to wait til then
