In a little bit of time It won't matter anymore Then everything you do You do the wrong way Just a little bit of love To a tiny little man Goes a long long way In a little bit of time You will learn the awful truth That everybody older isn't wiser To the violence of a man To the innocence of youth Is a long long way From a boy to a man From a man to a king Is a song everybody knows From a boy to a man From a man to a king From a king to a clown, it goes In a little bit of time You could be a millionaire Even if your castle's Just a castle in the air The things we used to worry about Will be no longer there And you will laugh about them all and say It didn't matter anyway So why, did you cry From a boy to a man From a man to a king Is a song everybody knows From a boy to a man From a man to a king Is a song everybody knows
