Everybody Was a Kid
Music & Lyrics by Alastair Moock ©2020 Moockshake Music

Two little eyes staring from a crib
A tiny little mouth drooling on a bib
A tiny little fist with a tiny little grip
Before they grew up, everybody was a kid

Malcom X was a kid and Dr. King was a kid
Mahatma Gandhi was a kid, the Dalai Lama was a kid
Before they got tall, before they grew big
They used to be small, everybody was a kid

You are a kid, you got dirt on your hands
You wipe ‘em on your shirt, you wipe ‘em on your pants
But one of these days you’re gonna get real big
How do I know? ‘Cuz everybody was a kid

So where you gonna go? What you gonna do?
Who you gonna be? We’re waiting on you
We’re holding our breath and our lips are all bit
Because we all know everybody was a kid

Oprah Winfrey was a kid and Angelina Jolie
Even Bill Gates and Muhammad Ali
Before they got known, before we knew what they did
Before they got grown, everybody was a kid

Two little eyes staring from a crib
A tiny little mouth drooling on a bib
A tiny little fist with a tiny little grip
Before they grew up, everybody was a kid

So where you gonna go? What you gonna do?
Who you gonna be? We’re waiting on you
We’re biting our nails though we keep it well hid
Because we all know everybody was a kid
