When I Was Young

When I was young

I never had to worry

Never had to hurt

My heart was strong

Didn't fall in love

I was never left alone



When I was young

My friends were always around

We would stay out until dark

Play games we knew were safe

We never had to ever worry

We were always there for each other



When I was young

Life always seemed a dream

Read comic books for adventure

Imagination always kept me going

I would dream everything would be okay

There was never any threat or danger



When I was young

Oh God, the World was different then

Now children have to be watched

I never thought life would be like this

Everything so very much easier

Way back, when I was young
