Nostalgia

Feeling the sun We run and run Chasing, laughing until we're out of breath You count to a hundred Ready or not, I'm coming I hide in the trees by the swing set That was before the twinkle in our eyes left I'd do anything to reverse the hands of time To go back and revisit If only for one minute I'd do anything to be a little child When my heart could run wild and free Now I'm just a shell of who I used to be We dance and sing Unabashedly Living without an ounce of self-consciousness All day we dream About what we're going to be Our imaginations were limitless The world was just as cold But we were blissfully blinded by innocence Just to be free like that again I'd do anything to reverse the hands of time To go back and revisit If only for one minute I'd do anything to be a little child When my heart could run wild and free Now I'm just a shell of who I used to be Seeing the world in vibrant colors Being playful and curious It's not really the past It's my spirit that I miss But in the midst of despair Grim and deep I feel something comfort me An aura that is innocent and sweet Filled with light and purity I can feel her joy and wonderment And suddenly it's like she never went Maybe what I wanted, I can get it back To rekindle that excitement Recapture that brightness Maybe what I wanted, I already have Maybe Maybe Maybe what I wanted, I just need to grab What if I have the key To live my life exuberantly? Maybe what I wanted, I already have And I can still run wild and free Because that glorious child was always inside of me
