Forever Young

First we start out, little and small
Over the first few years we learn to act alone
Relatively life was amazing 
Ever so slowly we turn to bigger kids
Very carefully we go through elementary school
Everyone was so naive, so friendly
Ready to grow up yet?

You turn into a teen, and everyone is growing older
October never was the same again for us 
Ugly, a word used and abused 
Now in college your life goes by fast, you have kids, a life
God knows when we will experience what we had, youth.
