When Will My Life Begin by Mandy Moore

Seven a.m., the usual morning lineup
Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and (1)__________ up
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15
And so I'll (2)________ a book
Or (3)__________ two or three
I'll add a few new (4)__________________ to my gallery
I'll (5)________ (6)____________ and knit
And (7)________ and basically
Just wonder when will my (8)________ begin?
Then (9)__________ lunch it's puzzles and (10)__________ and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
Then I'll stretch, (11)__________ sketch, (12)________ a climb
Sew a dress!
And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll (13)__________ the (14)__________ some more
I'm sure there's (15)________ somewhere
And (16)________ I'll (17)__________ and brush

Stuck in the same place I've (18)____________ been
And I'll (19)________ wanderin' and wanderin'
And wanderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?
And (20)________________ night
The lights will appear
Just like (21)________ do on my birthday each year
What is it like
Out there (22)__________ they glow?
Now (23)________ I'm older
Mother (24)__________ just
Let me go
