When I was Younger

Tell me when I started getting older,

When that little girl inside me disappeared.

Tell me where she went

When all her dreams and imagination were packed away.

Help me, I've forgotten how to play,

To loosen my mind from reality

And go off and venture away.

Tell me why the last time my brother and I

Packed away our toys

Why we didn't know it would be the last time

For five years or so.

Tell me where that childlike imagination went

Somewhere far below.

Tell me why I can't dream anymore

And instead am left sad and cold.

Tell me where my wings went

When with my friends I used to soar,

Tell me where my shape-shifting powers went

To play multiple different roles.

Tell me why when my little sister calls

I sit down and only can shake my head,

Because I don't know where that little girl

I used to be has run away and gone.
