As I Remember

Old schoolyard the place where life was at its best
As friends we met there
No man's land our land on the edge of town
Where all of us believed that we were heroes

Now it's not the same
This place in my memories where I often came
Now the things have changed
The kids don't play there
They don't play there anymore

Autumn fair the place to walk and fool around
While no one had a dime
Crossing town where gangs would fight
Collecting christmas trees to burn on every corner

Now it's not the same
This place in my memories where I often came
Now the things have changed
The kids don't play there

And then comes independance day
The day to move and find your way
No more games to play
The end of childhood came

Crossing town it seems the mall's the place to hang around
A last resort to kill the time

Now it's not the same
This place in my memories where I often came
Now the things have changed
The kids don't play there

Now things have changed
It's not the same (as I remember)
