back when we were kids

remember back before all the drama, remember back before all of the bills and the degrees, every hill that we stood on felt like a mountain, and every lake that we swam in felt just like a raging sea, shooting stars were still good for wishing on, and old appliance boxes took us straight up to the moon, every single day was a saturday, and every night like clock work bedtime always came too soon, and we knew. if we had problems band-aids fixed it, mom was always there to listen, and every night we'd say our prayers, to someone watching us up there, life was so much simpler way back then, back when we were kids, we all had our own sense of fashion, and we didn't care who'd written or directed our cartoons, there was still some magic in a sunrise, and we could visit dinosaurs and make it back by noon, and we knew.
