Remember

i remember the times when i was a child
remember like yesterday
i was happy and cheeky and free and wild
those times are far away

i remember the dreams i dreamt all the time
the future was full of surprises
but the future got past and full of grime
just the sum of broken promises

i remember the life i wanted to live
today, it's light years away
i can only wait what the future will give
can do nothing but hope and stay

my life was work, now it is sorrow
i realized: dreams don't wait for tomorrow.
