Changed

I remember the days
Where to dream I was not afraid
To walk by there were many ways
Life was light never had to worry about daily bread
I had all the time
to do whatever I want
Things went bad time to time
Had no big deal between do & don’t
World will never gonna be the same again
We have changed, world has changed
Missing that freedom brings me a little bit of pain
’cause we have changed, I have changed

Now I work for all these things
Now I die for all those things
I have to keep working I cannot turn away
I have come so long this far
Yet it seems I’m not so par
Still I see a lot of climb ahead of my way
Feel tired yet can’t stop
This journey is like this
I’ll be achieving stuff
But there could be more that I miss…

I remember how it was
to try new things each and every day
Lots of space was there and because
of that every day was like Friday
I learned things I like
or maybe the things they wanted me to like
I was told doing so I’ll be fine
& all will be paid off & be divine
Now I know the truth is different than what I was said
We have changed, world has changed
If I knew this was coming better plans could have been laid
But we have changed, I have changed

I remember tough times
Rough moments I passed on my way
Know that a poem wouldn’t always rhyme
If the wording used to make it was not that great
I worked on all the time
to keep steady and keep up my grades
Okay, that was no crime
But I kept missing same part in every parade
I miss that freedom to do little mistakes
We have changed, world has changed
To succeed we put more and more things at stake
’cause we have changed, I have changed

I wish things went so bad
and everything fell into pieces and torn apart
Wish I told a girl that I loved
and got rejected for good as she’d dump me and depart
Wish I fell to the very end
to get motivated in a different way
to have started all over again
to conquer a fresh new aim
At some points I regret how I played my game
We have changed, world has changed
Still I can stand tall ’cause my name isn’t in shame
’cause we have changed, I have changed

I remember all the good times I have had as a kid, as a teen
Even though it was a bit of different than how it should have been
Missed the chance to smoke a cigar, get drunk, spend a night in jail & get freed
To fall in love, get dumped, get lost in a jungle or get a police ticket for speed
Though there have been things to be missed
Not that everything went in vain
Shrug it off, to hell with what I couldn’t succeed
Got to be proud of what I’ve gained
