Remember back before all the drama
|
Remember back before all of the bills and the degrees
|
Every hill that we stood on felt like a mountain
|
and every lake that we swam in felt just like a raging sea
|
Shooting stars were still good for wishing on
|
and old appliance boxes took us straight up to the moon
|
every single day was a saturday
|
and every night like clock work bedtime always came too soon
|
and we knew...
|
|
If we had problems band-aids fixed it
|
Mom was always there to listen
|
and every night we'd say our prayers
|
to someone watching us up there
|
Life was so much simpler way back then
|
back when we were kids
|
|
We all had our own sense of fashion
|
and we didn't care who'd written or directed our cartoons
|
There was still some magic in a sunrise
|
and we could visit dinosaurs and make it back by noon
|
and we knew...
|
