When you're young
the world is beautiful
and always on your side
then you grow older
the magic fades away
and reality sets in

I wanna go back to the days
when my biggest concern
was getting in trouble with mom and dad
when all that mattered to me
was time with friends and family
and getting my way
I wanna go back to the fourth grade
when I was proud to show the crafts I made

Mother's Day presents
made from macaroni
sack lunches, field trips, and first crushes
hallways, lockers, and school buses

they say ignorance is bliss
I think they're right, whoever "they" are
days become filled with worry and regret
and sometimes it's hard to look on the bright side
just know that I'll be by your side
take a deep breath, it's alright.
