Back Then...
Every step of the way
I always stop and ay
Look up into the sky
Look back to where you were only five
Look into where things weren't rough
Where life wasn't all that tough.
Just to live life and have fun
Sitting in your own sandbox looking into the sun.
Think back to when you didn't care much about love
When the times you thought you could reach the stars up above.
Every once in a while
You couldn't help but smile
To remember being a child
When everything was mild.
Wishing that life could be that easy
Knowing that life isn't all that you seemed it to be
But knowing that you would do anything
To go back to something
That was once the time of your life of everything.
When life was never a bore
When everything is all you long to wish for.
