Now n Then

Its running through my mind
a thought so naive

I wanna be a child again
I wanna run wild again
wanna dance in the rain
play with a toy train
what loss what gain
life stayed the same

Now life has changed
everything has changed

Now its work all the time
Now its toil all the time
In this long line
others I wanna outshine
either I go up or I decline
I cant stay just "fine"

Wanna fly like a bird
have to work like a nerd
wanna have a sound sleep
have deadlines to meet
wanna go for a walk
have to attend a talk

Do I like it, probably not
Do I want it, probably not
