Kids Lyrics – Sasha Alex Sloan

[Verse 1]
I remember when your dad got sick
Wasn’t a mountain that you wouldn’t move
You gave everything you had to give
‘Cause you knew you had everything to lose

[Chorus]
One day I’ll take care of you
Like you took care of him
I’ll drive you to the mall
I’ll stock your bar with gin
I’ll love you through the lows
Just like you always did
One day before we know it
Parents become the kids

[Verse 2]
I remember when I couldn’t sleep
You were always there by my side
And if someone ever broke my heart
You would dry all the tears that I cried

[Chorus]
And one day I’ll take care of you
Like you took care of me
I’ll drive you to the mall
I’ll buy your groceries
I’ll love you through the lows
Just like you always did
One day before we know it
Parents become the kids

[Bridge]
And it might never happen
But if I ever have them
I hope that

[Chorus]
Someday they’ll take care of me
Like I’ll take care of them
They’ll drive me to the mall
They’ll be there in the end
They’ll love me through the lows
Just like you always did

[Outro]
One day before we know it
There ain’t much life to live
One day before we know it
Parents become the kids
(And one day I’ll take care of you)
(Like you took care of me)

[Verse 1]
The first verse recalls a time when the listener’s father was ill. Despite the challenges, they were steadfast in their support, willing to move mountains and give everything they had because they understood the gravity of the situation.

[Chorus]
The chorus expresses the singer’s commitment to reciprocate the care they received. They promise to take care of their parent just as devotedly as their parent cared for their sick relative. It highlights the role reversal where children become the caregivers as parents age.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer reminisces about moments of vulnerability when they couldn’t sleep. Their parent was a constant source of comfort, always by their side to provide solace and comfort, especially during heartbreaks.

[Chorus]
Similar to the first chorus, this stanza reiterates the pledge to care for their parent in the same way they were cared for. They promise to handle everyday tasks like driving to the mall and buying groceries while offering unwavering support during difficult times.

[Bridge]
The bridge acknowledges the uncertainty of the future, recognizing that the singer may never have children of their own. However, they express a hope that if they do, their offspring will reciprocate the same level of care and support.

[Chorus]
In this chorus, the singer extends their hopes to a hypothetical future where they are cared for by their own children. They envision their children driving them to the mall, offering support till the end, and loving them through life’s challenges, mirroring the care they received.

[Outro]
The outro reflects on the passage of time and the inevitability of aging. It emphasizes the transformative journey where parents, once the caregivers, eventually rely on their children for support and care. The repeated lines underscore the enduring cycle of love and caregiving between generations.
