To Be A Child

Oh when can I be a child again Tap my feet and dance in the rain Life has been a long road of pain Where there is only sorrow and unending strain Oh give me once again the happy laughter of a child I want to go years back in time when I was free and wild To unload off all the accumulated garbage pile Create some happy memories and at the back of my mind file Oh when can I be free again to embrace the joys of life Everywhere I look, I find heads bowed down with strife I thought I had it all when I had a home and a wife But all she does is look at me with daggers and a kitchen knife Oh when can I be a child again Live with emotions that are clean and pure Is it so hard to find as the air we now breathe Darling child, come now stay with me please don’t leave.
