Optimistic

It was mostly in white and in other colors maybe, Had everything a child need Had every dream a child dreams It was a smile It was innocence It was warm It was security Had all three of us wrapped slept tight into the deepness of it into easy and simple caught up too strongly, not to leave A Good bedtime story would justify our needs too young and too pure We were together, here and for all Even the atmosphere's scent smelled love It is everything I dream about now It was a peace of mind and it is, Just a memory of it Do you still know well your own childhood? How little mind of yours kept Big happy thoughts How little heart of yours loved truly the whole world How little you were, and how small were your penalties How far you looked ahead to the future, By tomorrow you were hopeful and content about yesterday But now,you're all grown up and life is just a pass ticket to hell or heaven, Lost hope in tomorrow and ain't satisfied by how yesterday came How long have you been like that and since when life took over, Were you optimistic or naive ? When you used to build castles out of mud When you used to dress to be like a superhero When you used to root for the good to win, knowing deep down it will always do You gotta be thinking now Must been a naive, Yet you were OPTIMISTIC !
