when i was young


When I was young
Growing up in the village
Life was simple and ordinary
The folks were kind and friendly

I could walk everywhere
Nobody would stare at me
They knew who I was
We knew each other

When I was young
The eye of the world
It was in the village
The children played

Climbing trees
Plucking fruits
Catching cat fishes
Nothing about thieves or robbers

When I was young
Developments came
Parents moved away
Leaving friends behind

The echo of the past
Buried in the mind
Sometimes I could imagine
When I was young living in the village
