Before the days came to get older
Before they made me stress
A lifetime ago when days began
With something other than regret

I miss the days when we could run
Spontaneous and free
Leap up high into the air
Nothing beneath our feet

Could fly with no fear of falling
Soar with certainty
No stop to imagination
Or weight of reality

And now I find myself years later
Coming back to think
Time gets to have the fun of flying
Why on earth can't we

We're wiser and we're older
Some wrinkles added to our eyes
But since when does experience
Make our wings too scared to fly
