Remember when you were little,
When life was simple and carefree
Where everything was handed to you
And you lived life merely.

Remember when swinging on swings
Was what you meant by "getting high".
Now it's all about the drugs
We use to make us fly.

Remember when you thought of war
As nothing more than a card game,
Now it's a huge social issue
Where everyone tries to point blame.

Remember when boys had cooties
And wearing protection meant a helmet,
Now you worry about STDs and babies
That seem to be the biggest threat.

Remember when you were little,
When life was simple and carefree
When growing up was all you wanted
But never thought it would be so quickly...
