Lyrics
When I was a kid years ago
Reflecting on childhood experiences from years ago.
Wide eyed with a future slow
Having a hopeful perspective on the future but progressing slowly.
You tried to get me to change my view
Recalling attempts by others to influence one's perspective.
And I saw what ignoring dreams would do
Realizing the negative impact of ignoring one's dreams.
There was a time it was hard to see
Describing a time when clarity was challenging.
Shine a little light down on you and me
Expressing a desire for enlightenment or understanding.
I see my life in passing years
Reflecting on life as it passes by over the years.
And I don't want to still be right here
Expressing a reluctance to remain in the current state.
So how well can you see this ending
Prompting reflection on how well one can foresee the conclusion or outcome.
How much will you take before you break
Pondering the threshold of endurance before reaching a breaking point.
How far will you go knowing what you
Considering the extent of one's actions despite knowing the consequences.
Know now so how well can you see this ending
Prompting further contemplation on foreseeing the eventual outcome.
You were a little scared and I bet
Noting someone's fear and uncertainty in decision-making.
You haven't made up your mind just yet
Highlighting the indecision of an individual.
You're not alone but it's hard to tell
Expressing the challenge of discerning loneliness in others.
Cause everybody else hides so well
Commenting on the concealment of struggles by others.
I've having trouble knowing who to trust you shine
Expressing difficulty in trusting others amidst personal struggles.
A little light down on us I've got to find a way
Seeking enlightenment and a way through life's complexities.
Through the maze I want to go to sleep and sleep for days
Expressing a desire for escape or respite from life's challenges.
