let's go on a trip
and revisit our childhood
let's delve into our old streets
and remember those long gone moons

let's shake hands
with our enthusiastic younger self
do you see a mirror
or a stranger withing your shell?

let us laugh at the stuff
that once made us cry
let us shed a tear or two
at the happiness goneby

come let's wear the cloak
of inexperience and see
the difference in views and the difference in colors
and the difference in what could be

how different it must seem
to not carry the weight
of all our responsibilities
and freely dance again

ah let’s cut ourselves loose
from reality for minute or three
let us go meet to our childhood
and embrace those welcoming memories

Everybody has dreams.
They dream about being great things.
They want to save the world.
They want to become millionaires.
They have goals and hopes.

But me, no.
I simply want to get through today.
I just want to remain alive and well.
I know I have more potential than most.
I know of myself I could make something.


But I'd rather aim low and be excited about my accomplishments
Than to shoot for extraordinary things and be let down yet again..
