child again

 CHILD AGAIN
I wanna be a child again...
I wanna trace the sun through my window pane..
I wanna chase the dogs across my lane..
I wanna lay fearless on the swing,
Stretching up my dream wings..
I wanna laugh again at silly jokes..
That time just poop could make my stomach poke..
I wanna fly kites again..
I wanna dance carelessly in the rain..
I wanna whistle like a train..
Life was so easy back then, there was so pain..
That time words only had one meaning...
Love meant love, never heard of hate..
People didn't seem that fake..
That time fights were just for toys..
Neither for feelings, nor for boys...
I wanna ride my bike,
I wanna race in the fields, in the muddy lawns wherever I like..
I wanna feed the birds nesting on my front gate..
I wanna take pride in never reaching the school late...
That time birthdays only meant lots of gifts...
Having our favorite candy made our hearts lift..
We prayed god for latest barbie doll..
Just not getting an icecream made our tears fall...
I wanna make big soap bubbles...
I wanna break things and get into trouble..
I wanna count the colours in the rainbow..
I wanna get too scared and walk real slow..
I wanna recite a poem in the rhyme..
I wanna play hide and seek a thousand times...
I wanna be that hero in the video game,
Fighting everyone down and getting all the fame..
In the shadow I wanna make animals by my hands..
I wanna live with the fairies in the fairy land...
I wanna get back to the world that is so beautiful, so insane..
I wanna be a child again..
