When We Were Young

When we were young, we feared but still adventured
We always saw the bright side to everything
We didn't care about labels
We didn't see labels
We created and destroyed with pure imagination

We fought but made up in minutes
We could make almost anything into fun
We didn't worry about what others thought
We could sit and talk about anything
We played and laughed and enjoyed everything

When we were young we would put on dad's shoes
We would follow him around and attempt to do what he did
We would join mom in the kitchen and help her cook
We used to build forts and pretend they were houses
We just wanted to grow up

Now that  we're growing, and see how messed up the world is,
Now that we've seen how life is,
Now that we've gotten a taste of how cruel life can be,

Now that life has tested and failed us, 

All we want to do is go back to when we were young
