Go back way back inside your mind
To an earlier softer sweeter time
When you believed that Santa was real
Summers felt longer 5 cents was a deal
A loving family was your whole world
The world was an oyster you were a pearl
Cuss words were something you never said
A happy day was reading books in your bed
The puppy you had would never grow or die
The best scent in the world was hot apple pie
Most of your worry was an English test
Always working to do your very best
Saturday mornings spent on watching cartoons
Sunday morning was donuts then church until noon
Monday through Friday was spent at school
You knew what the what you were nobody's fool
Policemen were always the good guys to trust
Obedience was the rule to do as you must
Your future was bright as you grew up
With faith in the world that it wasn't corrupt
The innocent mind of a child so fair of face
A happy life of living in such a safe place
The world is harsh now not so safe, is it?
When life hurts return to your happy place
Even if only in your mind to visit
