Doze Were The Days

Remember when "Getting High" meant swinging at the playground,
When "Protection" meant wearing a helmet.
When the worst thing you could get from BOYS were cooties and the worst thing you could get from Girls was a cold.

Mom was your hero and Dads shoulders were the highest place on earth.
Your Worst Enemies were your siblings.
"Race Issues" were about who ran the fastest or a game of soccer meant Malays VS Chinese

"War was only a card game.
The only "Drug" you knew was cough medicine.
Wearing a skirt didn't mean you were a "Slut".
The only thing you "Smoked" was the tires on your BMX bike.

The only thing that would "Hurt you" were skinned knees.
The only thing that could be "Broken" were your toys &
"Goodbyes" only meant until tomorrow...

Life was so simple and carefree, but what I remember most was wanting to grow up.
And now, all I want is to be a kid again."
