Grown Up
Her Barbie lies forgotten
 His cowboy boots gather dust
 A playroom full of toys gets cobwebs
 And begins to smell of must
 Her dress-up clothes grow moth holes
 His Superman is left alone
 They've all been swapped for newer things
 A car, an iPod, a phone
 Her princess crown has lost it's shine
 His rocking-horse rocks no more
 The toys are all neat in place
 While they once littered to floor
 Her teddy bear yearns for another hug
 His bike for one more ride
 But those things will never come
 So in their places they will abide
 She's grown up now and no longer pretends
 He's an adult and won't look back
 Now their kids replace them
 And give the toys the love they lack
 On it goes
 It happen and happens again and again
 The toys break and become trash
 So lying in a garbage dump is where all the toys end
