Back In the Day

Steps, where are they leading? When opportunity is fleeting And our healths slowly retreating All our ambitions are competing Weighing out all our priorities Fitting in with the majorities Fighting with our insecurities Can we go back to the simple please? Back to the times our minds were clear When there wasn't much for us to fear When we proudly showed who we held dear When life was something we could steer I guess thats now, "back in the day" We didn't concentrate on lifes decay When games were something fun to play When we didn't have to shy away Lets go back to days of morals With less bickering and quarrels Lets create a concious portal Remembering we're not immortal
