Growing Up Too Fast
Growing Up Too Fast
Ever wonder what happened to what used to be?
The things we did when we were young and free
Reminiscing and paging through old yearbooks
Pointing fingers and laughing at old, embarrassing looks
Missing the way things were back in the day
so fresh and new…just starting out on our way
Nothing ever puzzled us, we were youthful and energetic
We enjoyed our days and life was a lot less hectic
Standing in line, pushing and shoving…going out for recess
Now a days, our lives pass day by day from one deadline to the next. God, Its so much
stress!
It seems we’ve all grown up too fast
Sometimes, ignorantly overlooking our past
Standing here at a new beginning,
A young adult who’s just started living
I hold a heavy heart, eager to learn, experience and see
But not wanting to leave behind the childhood that created me
