i remember when we were kids
i remember when we were perfect
young and brave, pure and sinless
and i had always watched the clouds
they told me stories of being bold
back before i ever asked forgiveness
and all i know is i wish i could be
back when i knew what was expected of me
when gods were gods, when the world was at my feet
back when i was young and wild and carefree
i like to think i always loved
with all my heart, with all my soul
blinding bright, in a blaze of beauty
and god himself could not compare
to what i felt when i was burning
i was my own god, to all who knew me
and all i know is i wish i could be
back when i knew what was expected of me
when gods were gods, when the world was at my feet
back when i was young and wild and carefree
and god is not the god of my childhood
god is not the god of my youth
but i am me, i'll always be
because i know the truth
cause all i know, is i will never be
back when i was a much younger me
and that's okay, 'cause i have started to see
that i am wild and beautiful and lovely
