Way Back Then
Way back then
I played in a garden
filled with flowers
I cannot remember when
My life as a child,
way back then
Sunny skies
Before I joined the world of men
The only authority,
my parents
Way back then
My family
Such a tiny world,
passes by,
in a blink of an eye
Way back then
Governed with love
Way back then
The only authority now,
is the world of men
Lost, but how?
Through a childs' eyes
I played..
Way back then
The flowers I made,
under sunny skies
Lost am I..
I cannot return
to a sunny sky...
So much to learn
Such a tiny world..
Passed by
A sunny sky,
unfurled
Lost am I..
In a childs' eyes
way back then
