There Was a Time
There was a time
When I was young
Playing games, making jokes, laughing
There was a time
When my parents once cared
Before I grew up
There was a time
When the sun would shine
It seems lately darkness has overlapped my life
There was a time
When I was strong
Ask any man in Billow's County
But now I'm old
Not as strong as I used to be
They try to keep me locked away
There was a time when I was free
That unfortunate day
Leaving me only myself, locked away
