When I Was a Child - Valley Maker

When I was a child

I let my mind run wild

I thought that time expired

And then

What then?

So I let you in

I let you in again

When I was growing up

I tried to have my fun

I tried to hurt no one

My mind got stuck

It split and sunk

So I gave it up

I gave it up

Saving all you can

I tried to love your plan

I tried to play my hand

To the finish

But there’s a limit

And I cannot win

I cannot win

You are my best friend

When I took your hand

I tried to understand

What it meant

How time begins

And it let us in

It let us in again

Somewhere in between

The light I try to be

The dark I cannot leave

I am ancient

When time ends

It’s gonna start again

Start again
