When I Was Young

When I was young
life is just about play and fun under the sun
My life is spent on childish games
I've learned now that when we grow older, it's not thesame.
When I was young
All I'm asking is for treats
Looking back now it was such a little request to made me complete
Now it became "basic needs" and so hard to get.

When I was young
Scolding from a little mistake seems the most hurtful
Now I realize that it is nothing compared to the punishments for the "wrongful"
coz now sometimes life in the prison is the price we have to pay if we are sinful.

When I was young
I used to cry for things I couldn't have
Now I know better, to acquire something we must work hard to obtain it
And crying means giving up and failing is what we will get.

When I was young
I was just a kid surrounded securedly by strong walls
That when I grow older I realize - a barricade to be tear down to see the real world
And would make me wiser and stronger as I grow old.

When I was young
Life seems so happy and without any troubles
As I think of them now, they just seem to float like bubbles
Ready to burst and dissolve at every inch of my struggles.
