Children
Echoes of Youth: Nostalgia and Lost Dreams
Lyrics
I remember walking with holes in our shoes
I recall a time when we walked with worn-out shoes.
I remember we weren't the kind to make an excuse
I recall we were not the type to make excuses.
I remember thinking we would break all the rules
I recall thinking that we would defy societal norms and regulations.
Where are those children now? Where are those children now?
Questioning the whereabouts of those children from the past.
I remember hellfire and brimstone be damned
I recall intense challenges and difficulties, disregarding the threat of punishment.
I remember trembling at the touch of your hand
I recall feeling a strong emotional response to your touch.
Crossing the desert to the California sand
Embarking on a journey through the desert to reach the shores of California.
Where are those children now? Where are those children now?
Questioning the present location or state of those children from the past.
I remember angels who lent us their wings
I recall encounters with benevolent beings who provided support.
Cigarettes and paperback poetry kings
Remembering times involving cigarettes and poets known for their paperback works.
Kicking up dust like we didn't need a thing
Creating chaos and disruption as if we were invincible.
Where are those children now? Where are those children now?
Questioning the current whereabouts of those children from the past.
Now the curtain calls and fails to fill me
Expressing a sense of dissatisfaction as applause fails to bring fulfillment.
I wander down the halls that used to thrill me
Wandering through the once-exciting halls that no longer evoke excitement.
I remember singing, "San Francisco Bay Blues"
Recalling singing a specific song, "San Francisco Bay Blues."
I remember being happy just paying our dues
Recalling a time when we found happiness in facing challenges and difficulties.
I remember thinking we had nothing to lose
Recalling a mindset where it seemed like we had nothing to lose.
Where are those children now? Where are those children now?
Questioning the present location or state of those children from the past.
Where are those children now?
Reiterating the question about the current whereabouts of those children.
