lyrics
Mostly I'm a Kid
I watched the news on TV
My parents were not home
The things that I saw scared me
It was hard to be alone.
I have so many questions, doubts
But I know that it’s not good
When they got home we talked about it
My parents understood
---
Now I'm marching with my family
A protest in the street
We made the signs we carry
Mine says “I’m speaking with my feet!”
It feels good to do something
Though I'm sure it won't erase
All that’s bad, but it’s a step to make
My world a better place
--
My parents say, “We grow up in stages
And be grateful for the blessing that each age is.”
---
I'll go play with Luna
She's the new dog we just got
Ride my bike, do some reading
Call my friends. We always laugh a lot
For dinner we'll have pizza
And talk of what we did
At 13 sometimes I feel grownup
But mostly, I’m a kid
I watched the news on TV
My parents were not home
The things that I saw scared me
It was hard to be alone.
I have so many questions, doubts
But I know that it’s not good
When they got home we talked about it
My parents understood
---
Now I'm marching with my family
A protest in the street
We made the signs we carry
Mine says “I’m speaking with my feet!”
It feels good to do something
Though I'm sure it won't erase
All that’s bad, but it’s a step to make
My world a better place
--
My parents say, “We grow up in stages
And be grateful for the blessing that each age is.”
---
I'll go play with Luna
She's the new dog we just got
Ride my bike, do some reading
Call my friends. We always laugh a lot
For dinner we'll have pizza
And talk of what we did
At 13 sometimes I feel grownup
But mostly, I’m a kid

about
Tom Smith Boston, Massachusetts
“Folk music is still a living tradition that feeds on new songs that speak of people’s wants, needs, struggles and triumphs. Tom Smith is a man who writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there. There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.” – Dave Palmeter, WUMB-FM Boston ... more
