We look back on the times
We climbed trees and
Felt like we were flying
When we jumped out
We look back on barefoot nights
And roaming our streets
Looking for lighting bugs
To trap in jars
We look back on the tears
We shed when corporate men
Tore down our forest homes
And destroyed our last shred of hope

We sit in our rooms now
We go to bed at four
We wake up at the same time
We don’t speak very much
We see each other around
Only sometimes though
And we exchange glances
We know the games too well
Talk and we sometimes stop
We talk about how she went crazy
And how he got arrested for drugs
And how we all got ****** from society

We dream about our lives
10, 20, 30 years from now
We all dream about a reunion
But we only see the issues about it
No one can stand the silence
But we can’t imagine it breaking
We all want to make up
We all want to run the city together
But the times have changed
And that won’t ever stop
Because our futures are too bright
Why would we quit now?

Sometimes dreams are all we have
We dream about the past
We dream about the present
And we will forever dream about the future
