I once was a brave kid
never was afraid of a thing or two
fond of challenges, adventures
and whatever l might go through
happiness is what I've felt
when I was one of many children
happiness that I always wished
that would never ever end
I ran and soared
like a free bird in the clouds
I fell, got wounded
I would scream a little loud

but when I was a child
there's a thing that is worth to lie
and that is I fear monsters
and through them, I might die

as I grew older
the monsters were gone
and my fears were heightened
all I want is to run
I want to run
and I want to run back
back when the days were brighter
and the nights were shorter
when all I can do is enjoy
and all I can be is happy
where running is just a game
and smiling is a daily routine
where time is not fast
but did not know
that It constantly runs till last

but then it all happened
and soon I'll be part of the past
I once was a healthy seed
but now is a tree of rust

I wish I could go back,
go back to the backyard
