Times Change

I was a boy.
When I was a boy
I loved every toy
smiled and laughed all day
I did nothing but sleep and play
I loved my friends and my family
Did everything so crazily
I was a cheerful fellow
and had cool friends who liked to play the piano

And then I grew up
And times changed

I am a teenager.
Being older is not so much fun
Life is like a race and I have to run
Study all day
No time for sleep or play
Stress replaced apathy
I don't want to do anything badly
Friends have changed
Preferences all rearranged
But, I push on forward
And moving toward
A better future and better days

I will grow older
And times will have changed.

I will be an adult.
I will be smart, rich, and happy
With a loving wife and beautiful kids, kissing them all gladly 
I will thank my parents for pushing me along
And fixing me when I did wrong.

Time changes
And what happens depends my choices
I'm going to make the best
out of my life now
So later I can rest.
