Forever 17

Never thought it would be me, Living in a  shattered dream

Could this be the end for me?

What I wouldn't give to have, A life to live, a day to plan

Instead I'll be forever seventeen

Could have lived out every dream

Could have been most anything

Can someone wake me up? I haven't lived yet

I'm only seventeen

God, did you forget, I'm just a baby?

And I don't wanna be

Forever seventeen

I'll never have a bed to make, a test to take, a summer day

I'll always be forever seventeen

Could have had a family, If things had work   out differently

Instead I'll be forever seventeen

Could I have just one more day

A chance to learn from my mistakes?

In a matter of a moment, Life fell before my  eyes

And now I'm looking at the meaning of the miracle of life

Where are we going without even knowing His  love

The answer is deep inside

So don't give up, You haven't lived yet

Your only seventeen

God did not forget, You're just a baby
