Essence of Time

If I only had the power I’ll hold time back and yonder Turn it to somewhere I want it In sometime, where I should be. I’ll travel on my childhood times See myself as if it's now gone Who I’ve been when I’m a little kid I’ll try to go on those moments Where I did something wrong I’ll make it right and perfect Until the present has no regret. I’ll go on my most precious times Where I lived in the world of freedom All those treasured memoirs Those moments I’ll see in the past. Maybe if I had the power I’ll never let go of somebody If I got the chance I’ll steal it Maybe this time, I’d never set you free. Fewer tears might have shed No wasted single moment No doubt caught me arrested Less tragic times are left. But I just can’t do it It’s just there and already happened I can never be back in all those times Where I want to travel back in my life.
