Gone Are Those Days

Gone are those days of innocence and play

Those gardens with dew and those castles of clay

You sit and wonder which turn did you took

How did you reach where you are today!

What prices did you pay?

How much did it cost?

To buy your happiness you gave yourself away

There used to be a child with a witty smile

Whose imagination was vast, but he was always at bay

The kid all grown up is a coward today

He lives life like how the people say

A handsome Salary and a white-collar job

"That'll keep you happy, anyway!"

But deep down he knows that's not enough

So he yearns for the things from the good old days

That childlike innocence and his castle of clay
