Now Again

Now again I stand here with naught but sadness
I keep thinking that I used to be soaring throughout the sky
But i haven't been that close these days
It's locked up in all the words I say
And whenever i start falling down
my words catch the frown
As the world is passing me by

Now again I stand there watching when I was younger
Back when I was so childish but light and free
But I can't ever go back to then
I can't ever be that way again
And whenever i feel close to tears
I can't look back and compare to all the years
I wish they'd let me be
