When I was younger, I always thought,
I could be someone, if I tried enough.
When I was younger, my father said,
Wear a smile, and show respect.
When I was younger, you never said,
When I was older, I'd feel, helpless.
When I was younger, you shone the light,
Now that I'm older, it doesn't shine bright.
When I was younger, you always said,
That as I got older, you'd always, be there.
