You never looked before you leapt
You never did show fear
Careless carefree ad hoc
You blustered through the years
You learned it as you went along
Then taught it to your peers
As you do
Cuts and bruises nettle stings
Could never slow you down
Jumping burns and climbing trees
Pain overcome by fun
Adrenalin for breakfast
Then run out to the sun
As you do
It seems like only yesterday
But it was long ago
A grown man now
A little kid inside
The days seemed so much longer
No worries and no cares
To play was just the be and all
To kick or catch a ball
You ran until you fell down
Then you got back up again
As you do
The smell of freshly cut grass
Can take me back in time
To where I was and how I felt
When I was just a child
And now I'm old and wiser
Or so I like to think
As you do
It seems like only yesterday
But it was long ago
A grown man now
A little kid inside
