Childhood

Just think how nice it was when you believed in everything
Just imagine how everything was when evil was nothing
Just remember how life was when we thought we could fly by making our own wings
Just go back to that time when candies were much important than diamond rings


I miss when I never knew what was being rude
I miss when everything revolved around games and food
I miss when even bad seemed to be good
I just miss my childhood


How it was when we stood open mouthed whenever we saw planes flying
How long were the stories that we use to tell even when everyone knew we were lying
How nice it was when we were too far from the cycle of birth and dying
How good it was when we didn’t gave up and kept on trying


I miss when I knew all the facts raw and crude
I miss when we were babies than babe and dude
I miss when even the bad seemed so good
I just miss my childhood


How nice it was when we could be doctors and teachers whenever we wanted
How cute was our mother’s blackmail when she said I’ll put you in a room that’s haunted
How beautiful were the gifts that we got whenever we wished
How magical seemed our room whenever the colorful lights switched


I miss talking to my barbies and teddy
I miss sitting on the lap of my daddy
I miss when even the bad seemed so good
I just miss my childhood


But now I know that getting it back is impossible
Cuz the time which pass away is almost unstoppable
So why not live every moment from now on
So we don’t miss it whenever its gone


I miss tryin’ to count the stars at night
I miss patchin’ up with my fellows after a fight
I miss when I thought nothing’s bad and everything’s good 
I just miss my childhood
