It's funny how everything seemed more beautiful
When we were only three feet tall.
The world, it seemed so simple.
Not so scary; much less pain with every fall.

Where are those days when our backyard was just enough?
And we still believed that we could be,
Anything when we grew up.

I want to feel safe again.
I want to not be afraid.
I think we all would like that.
We just need a little change.
