when i young
i was drawn magnetically home to the Sea
and you won't see me anymore
you won't catch me sleeping
you came down all in the trees
you taken it all away, and leaving me
what kind of gift is that to give to a man

takes me back to when i was a child
i've been waiting all my life for the lorax
if i had known that, when i was a young man

but you really must not understand
you're takin' my world right outta my hands
and leavin me with the hen

with a little bit of strength
i could get it all back
you call it a bargain
but it aint jack, man
i said it aint Jack

takes me back to when i was a child
i've been waiting all my life for the lorax
if i had known that, when i was a young man

watch your world as it crumbles and falls
you say i'm crazy but so are you all
i've been a blessing on you, a blessing on you

takes me back to when i was a child
i've been waiting all my life for the lorax
if i had known that, when i was a young man

watch your world as it crumbles and falls
you say i'm crazy but so are you all
if only i had known that
