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 (2)________ it's (3)________ 7:15
And so I'll (4)________ a book
Or maybe two or three
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
I'll play guitar and knit
And cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?
Then after lunch it's puzzles and (5)__________ and baking
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
Pottery and ventriloquy, (6)____________ making
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
Sew a dress!
And I'll reread the books
If I have time to spare
I'll (7)__________ the walls some more
I'm sure there's (8)________ somewhere
And then I'll brush and brush
And brush and brush my hair
Stuck in the same place I've (9)____________ been
And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'
And wanderin' and wonderin'
When (10)________ my life begin?
And tomorrow night
The lights (11)________ appear
Just (12)________ (13)________ do on my (14)________________ (15)________ year
What is it like
Out (16)__________ (17)__________ (18)________ glow?
Now (19)________ I'm older
Mother might just
Let me go
