Times Change

I was a boy. When I was a boy I loved every toy smiled and laughed all day I did nothing but sleep and play I loved my friends and my family Did everything so crazily I was a cheerful fellow and had cool friends who liked to play the piano And then I grew up And times changed I am a teenager. Being older is not so much fun Life is like a race and I have to run Study all day No time for sleep or play Stress replaced apathy I don't want to do anything badly Friends have changed Preferences all rearranged But, I push on forward And moving toward A better future and better days I will grow older And times will have changed. I will be an adult. I will be smart, rich, and happy With a loving wife and beautiful kids, kissing them all gladly I will thank my parents for pushing me along And fixing me when I did wrong. Time changes And what happens depends my choices I'm going to make the best out of my life now So later I can rest. ©
