the child you were

it's funny how the time could fly

blowing in the wind

as hard as you try

to grab it with your rusty hands

running after shadows of the past

now remember the child you were

walking and a foreignness and sorrows

this simple child you had inside

long ago like flowers sang in springtime

nothing really stayed the same

and nothing really changing in the end

open wide your eyes

and watch the everlasting view of the horizon

keep the fire burnin' hotter

clear your mind and fill it with the growing life

simple pleasures

like watching the sunrise off in the eastern hues

it's neverendin'

like an endless sunshine

get all lies an answer to the doubt

all is open

child

bring back the child of your heart

and sleeping inside

turn out the fire

i've tried

deep in the night
