When I Am Older

"When I Am Older" is a song written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, and sung by Olaf (Josh Gad) in the 2019 Disney animated film, Frozen II.

During the song, Olaf is on his own in the Enchanted Forest. Unexplained phenomena keep occurring around him so he comforts himself by saying that the events will make sense when he's older. After a series of encounters, including one with the Nøkk, Olaf is swept up by a tornado.

Lyrics
Olaf: What was that?! Samantha?

''This will all make sense when I am older ''Someday I will see that this makes sense ''One day when I'm old and wise ''I'll think back and realize ''That these were all completely normal events! ''Aaaaagh!

''I'll have all the answers when I'm older! ''Like, why we're in this dark, enchanted wood ''I know in a couple years ''These will seems like childish fears ''And so I know this isn't bad, it's good

''Excuse me

''Growing up means adapting ''Puzzling at your world and your place! ''When I'm more mature ''I'll feel totally secure ''Being watched by something ''With a creepy, creepy face

''Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!

''See, that will all make sense when I am older ''So, there's no need to be terrified or tense ''I'll just dream about a time ''When I'm in my aged prime '' 'Cause when you're older ''Absolutely everything makes sense!

''This is fine
