We were just kids then
Building forts, and riding bikes
We drifted along
Feathers floating in the currents of life
Swimming in ponds, and pools, and lakes
Running as fast as we could to grow up
We were just kids then
Blowing bubbles, blowing out candles
Ripping the wrapping paper off gifts
We don’t even remember now
That we ever received them
The streets called our names as we wove
Stories between them
And the end of the day we made our ways home
We were just kids then
We didn’t know so much
We knew everything
We knew nothing
Adulthood couldn’t come soon enough
And would never leave
We ran and we run
Waiting for the sun to go down
So we can make our way home
We are just kids, then
