Tomorrow and Yesterday

July 19, 2005

The past flies before my eyes
And I can hardly believe it was real
What happened to the time when
We believed nothing could go wrong
What happened to the time when
Our biggest struggle
Was what to do at recess
Where has time gone?
And why can't we slow it down
The happiness if gone
The smiles have faded
And we have been faced
With the real world
Of violence and tragedy
Poverty and despair
Pain and depression
Hope is now a mere shimmer
Faith a small glance
For we have been blinded
But what this world is all about
Why can't we go back
To those times of innocence
And purity
But it's too late now
And there's no way to get back
