Wish I Was a Kid
Eternal Longing and Grace: Katey Sagal's Wish I Was a Kid
Lyrics
I remember,
Recollection of a past experience
Feeling the divine and my heart did shift
Sensation of a spiritual or extraordinary moment causing a change in emotions
Filling in the cracks on my beaten path
Mending the difficulties in the speaker's life journey
Open to receive three gifts
Being open to receiving three significant gifts
I remember,
Recollection of another past experience
The first one filled me up with grace
The first gift bringing a sense of grace and fulfillment
There to bless the ones to come
The first gift has a positive impact on future generations
The journey not her fate
Emphasizing that the journey is not predetermined but shaped by individual choices
She was all that I wanted
A longing for something or someone desirable
Forever hung in the air
A perpetual presence or memory
Oh Ruby, I love you
Expressing love towards someone named Ruby
That's something that I never could say
The difficulty or inability to express love verbally
Oh Ruby, you'd be here
An imagined scenario where Ruby would be present if she were a child today
If you were a kid, wish you were a kid today
Desire for Ruby to experience the simplicity and joy of childhood
They are all that I wanted
Similar sentiment to Line #11, expressing longing
Forever hangs in the air
Reiteration of a perpetual presence or memory
My babies, I love you
Expressing love towards the speaker's children
That's something that I always will say
A commitment to always express love towards the speaker's children
Sweet babies, I'm with you
Assurance of being with the speaker's children
As if I was a kid, wish I was a kid today
Desire to experience the world with the innocence and joy of a child
