Once more, once again

I wish I could be a little girl
Once more, once again.
There's a void in me
That only a time machine could help fill.
I just want all these endless worries to die,
I just want to be a little girl again.
I just want to sleep peacefully like I used to,
Listening to my mum's lullabies,
Rather than staying up at night
Wondering about what to do
With all the life ahead.
I just want to watch those cartoons again
The way I used to,
Every evening, after school.
Someone,
take me back to the time
When all I cared about
Were my crayons and parents;
When I begged papa
To buy me that one pack of kinderjoy,
When I felt like the happiest girl in the world
Simply when I was gifted a Barbie or a toy.
Take me back to the time
When I used to fall asleep watching tv,
On the couch,
And wake up on my bed, the next dawn.
Go and bathe at the beach
Every weekend;
Have picnics with my grandma
In the house lawn.
Take me back to the time
When I loved the girl in the mirror,
And never cared about faces and figures;
About who liked me and who didn't;
What I should look like
And what I shouldn't;
About my smile, my diet,
My jawline, my height;
My voice, my weight;
Take me back to the time when
I didn't know
Any form of truth or hate.
I don't want to ever grow up;
I just want to be a kid again.
I just want be happy.
I just want to be innocent;
I just want to smile,
I just want to live again
The way I used to;
I wish I could be a little girl
Once more, once again.
