lyrics

You're a little kid with a big brain
And it's fun to watch you figure out
How to organize all the thoughts inside
Of your brain, then spit them out
Stacking letters to build houses
Spelling words with building blocks
Making music out of babble
And it makes sense, because it rocks

You're a little kid with a big brain
And it hurts my heart to hear you cry
'Cause you just can't say what you want some days
No matter how hard you may try
You turn into a wailing dervish
I breathlessly chase you around
And then I wrap my arms around you
And stroke your hair 'til you calm down

I try to crack the codes that help unlock your brain for you
But sometimes I get scared and wonder what else I can do
I watch you play with doctors, and I heed all their advice
But I believe some answer lie in wait behind your eyes

You're a little kid with a big brain
And every day brings something new
A sentence, a lyric, a question: I hear it
Come loud and clear out of you
Your eyes light up as you blurt out
Everything that's on your mind
I know I'll want some peace and quiet
But not right now, not this time
