When We Were Young
As children we'd play,
and nothing could stop our fun or get in our way
We'd play until the day's end,
and black, white, thick or thin didn't matter, if you wanted to play then you were my friend
As children if wasn't out of normality to dream, we dreamed and dreamed
We made our reality into what we wanted, no matter how silly it seemed
With ease we broke through realities tightest seams
We would chase and become our dreams, no matter how hard it seemed
As kids we could not only run, we could also fly,
close our eyes and run, and watch the wind take us high
Who knew by closing our eyes,
we could then touch the skies
As children, in our future we weren't CEO's laid back in a room,
we dreamed one day we'd walk the moon
we didn't read books, we made our own story,
and doing that expanded my mind further than any book every did for me
As children we knew not of fear,
we only knew how to play
Despite the degree of danger, we made sure we would bring our dreams near
that so called fear couldn't get in our way
Before we knew fear,
despite the chance of loss, we held on and loved things so dear
because losing these things isn't an option for a kid, because there wasn't the slightest questioning of if "if it did"
As children we looked danger in the eyes,
and with faith in our hearts we'd touch the skies
But now that we've moved on and grown,
we don't know where this faith in our dreams has gone.......
