Into the Mind of Yours Truly

When I Was Little

When I was little

I used to think two parents were a rare thing

And every heart was meant to sing

It didn't matter either way

But what did matter was your say

When I was little

I could truly live

I was never afraid to give

I'd freely dance

With a joyful prance

When I was little

I was healthy

And oh so stealthy

I could easily run and hide

Whether in or outside

When I was little

I didn't stay up late

And never did I harbor hate

I could have a peaceful night

Without a person in sight

When I was little

I didn't care

About the annoying stare

I was just me

For the world to see

But things change

And our lives are rearranged

We're not the same little kids

We've got the cap on our lids

We're not as free

To be

What we desire

Instead, whatever will hire
