I 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 buffalo
Well, I got a sense that he had been there
And he made me really wanna go

Chorus:
Remember waitin' all year for December
Thought God was 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 held my hand and we said a prayer
I prayed, 'Bless Grandma with the angels.'
And she said, 'Hey Mom, she's standin' over there.'
Well, 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 seen through children's eyes

(Repeat Chorus)

They say when you're old you're a child again
But do we have to wait 'till then

(Repeat Chorus)

Forever
I knew this kid his name was Michael
