Then I was a child
Then times were wild
Then knowledge slipped past my understanding
Then I was in flight and afraid of landing
Because...
Then I was a different person from now
I hear it in my voice and see it in my body yet I still don't know how
Now I am far bigger than I was then
Yet I am smaller on the inside and my memories must comfort me again
Because...
Now I'm still young though not young enough
Now times are merciless and tough
Now happiness has slipped past my sight
Now I've landed and I fear flight

Then I was a child
Then times were wild
Then knowledge slipped past my understanding
Then I was in flight and afraid of landing
Because...
Then I was a different person from now
I hear it in my voice and see it in my body yet I still don't know how
Now I am far bigger than I was then
Yet I am smaller on the inside and my memories must comfort me again
Because...
Now I'm still young though not young enough
Now times are merciless and tough
Now happiness has slipped past my sight
Now I've landed and I fear flight
Feeling nostalgic
