When I was Young...

When i was young, my wings yet to take flight

clouds in the sky were rare, the stars shone bright

i welcomed the mornings, and each day was fun

long before i got caught up in this run

this run for money, this run for fame

people complaining, finding some one to blame

they don't laugh anymore, smiles are so rare

their hands all empty..and life so bare

when i was young, life seemed like a song

it didn't matter if dreams came true, all that mattered was to follow along

wants were simple, needs so very less

with family and friends around, i thought i was blessed

now all i think of is to earn more and more

to have enough to go on a world tour

maybe build another house or buy a piece of land

or buy all the latest gadgets, as many as i can

when i was young my house was very small

yet it seemed big enough to fit us all

together we laughed out loud, and cried the same way

Being with each other somehow made the troubles melt away...

now this big house of mine , doesn't seem to have enough room

i think i need to move to a bigger one soon!!

laughing and crying are things of past

emotions surface rare, and seldom last

when i was young, i used to love the rain

i danced, i sang .. and forgot all my pain..

rains had some magic..they bought back fond memories...

of all those treasured moments...and emotional medleys..

rains now are so very unwelcome...

oh, it will spoil my dress and i will have to buy a new one..

look at all the mud here and there..

how do i walk home in my new pair...

Oh i wonder...will this chain ever end!!

will i be ever be strong enough to make amends

Ah, i wonder...if I will ever be young again

young enough at heart.. to enjoy the rain :)
