Childhood

Крис Андерсон
It seems like yesterday we were just ten
We ran and played felt happiness this way
We didn't know the  uttermost distress
Disappointment, despised love, heartache.

It seems like yesterday we were sixteen
We're troubled 'bout problems now we laugh
It used to make us feel both love and hate
Into the life with time we were drawn in

If we could for a time come back in there
Why childhood ends? Why so fast we grow?
What for we being children want to mature
And now want to regain the blissfull age

Youth passed me by and just in memory
Perpetuated is. Remembrance sweet
In this world of an ordure and filth
In funereal days so needful is

But after all these years the light fades out
It has forsaken me fo'e'ermore
Bright image's gone and never to come back
I can't be certain now that a child I was

Perhaps I was not, now I don't know
Betimes my childhood has come to an end
Is it too hard for me to be immortal?
Day after day 's the same  like a day before

This gray existence  full of emptiness
It could be colored with the memories
I wish I was a child in his own world
But second chance can not be given anymore
