R for Reverie
a shift to manhood to a higher order
a swap of a kind
a coming of age for a teenager
from the ground up onto a higher plain
the stage is set
the brilliance providing a sparkle
the gloss of a luster
isn't it fun to be considered an adult
doing adult things?
fat chance! without freedom
but a conjecture
hoping to mirror
hoping to mirror
an adult is not just yet
this is a special birthday dinner for you
you've just turned 18, an adult legally yes!
but in my eyes as a parent
you're still a child, my child.
no drinks for you, just Adam's ale
you may have tears in your eyes
but you're showered
this is a special birthday dinner for you

no drinks for you, just Adam's ale
you may have tears in your eyes
but you're showered
with love as a substitute
are you listening
get real out of your reverie
good things in life
will exert its influence later
not a drop this time around
you're wondering why?
well, we need someone sober
you're wondering why?
well, we need someone sober
to drive us home!
