We Were Children Once
They may not believe it,
But we were children once.
Just like them.
We were innocent
And playful and joyous.
Love was just a word,
Hate didn’t even exist.
We laughed for hours,
And played
Like there was no tomorrow.
How did we know
That there would be no tomorrow?
We were children once,
It’s hard to remember
The free feeling,
The idea of nothing matters,
Because we knew
We’d survive another day.
Why didn’t we know
We’d change the next day?
We were children once.
We were young and strong,
Believing and true.
We held onto our ideas,
Like babies onto candy.
We didn’t see
The dark days coming.
Why didn’t we see
The dark days coming?
We were children once.
But we’re not children anymore.
