When you were a kid,
You didn't have a worry or a care...
No set agenda,
Didn't need to be anywhere...
It all seemed so simple,
When you were very small...
Nothing in our life,
Really bothered us at all...
Innocence was bliss,
It’s a shame we all grow old...
And now we’re more mature
We do everything we’re told...
Stress is a thing,
That comes with life it seems...
It lurks there in the background,
Crushing all our dreams...
Why do we put so much thought,
Into everything we do...
Life was so much simpler,
When we were only two...
Now there’s always a decision,
And it’s tough to get it right...
Sometimes you will find it’s hard,
To sleep right through the night...
This anguish can be a killer,
You wonder how your parents did it
They make it seem real easy,
You think there's nothing to it....
So all you can do is try,
Mistakes will happen along the way...
Just take small steps,
Each and every day...
And it’s then you will realize,
That don’t matter what you do...
Destiny has a place,
And it’s set aside for you !
