Dreaming back, oh way back when,
where you didn't consider your thoughts a sin.
Back when you knew what you wanted to be..
Back when you were wrapped up in a fantasy...
Back when love was butterfly kisses
and we had to meet the Mr. and the Mrs.
Back when life was grand and people were real
and your heart wasn't something they could steal.
Children running that rampant pace
and how it didn't have to do with the color of your face.
Back when the sandbox had all the clout.
Back when it was all about going and getting out.
Back when you had cookies and naps
and your life wasn't filled with such tragic gaps.
Dreaming of a different life only a few years ago
back when time would creep by oh so slow...
Back when we never contemplated a sin.
Back when we were the innocent children...
