Back, Oh back in the day.
Back when you loved every thing they'd say.
Back when those ulterior motives we're not
and it didn't all seem like some evil plot.
Back when you didn't care about
and the sandbox had all the clout.
Way back when pig Latin was in
and you wrote with your favorite pen.
Back when it wasn't about the cops
and you loved both your mom and your pops.
Back when it wasn't about the rent
or all the bills you hadn't sent.
Playing games with all the other kids
and no one knew about all the acids.
Back when no one cared about your skin.
Back when innocence was unanimously in.
Back when love was butterfly kisses
and Saying hello to the Mr. and Misses.
Why can't we love like kids again?
why cause so much anger and pain?
Why not make it an easy life?
Filled will gleeful strife.
Not knowing the real use of a knife,
why not now and forever a children's life?
