Feel Like a Kid Again

I keep thinking back to the days when we were young
We used to play all day until the sun went down
Ride a bike, fly a kite, take a walk or run
Not a care inna di world, man, life was fun

And Mama would a bring us to the sandy sea shores
And Daddy would a come to see me ride my surf board
And Grandma loved us all but she loved me more
At least that's what she told me when I was four

Speed it up six years to the age of ten
Goin' to school just to cruise with my classmates then
We used to laugh after class in the hallways then
Sure all alone with the crew of my closest friends

And dinner was ready at 5:30 sharp
The whole family was there to pray before we start
Thinking of those times, how our days is hard
Though it's close to my heart, Lord, it seems so far

So, let's turn back time
When it was simple and kind
Said we never knew wrong, yeah, we never known better
But right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

Let me take you to a time when we were 20 years old
All my friends shared secrets that a still ain't told
And all I coulda dreamed of was a girl to hold
But beloved like a dove saw her arms unfold

Took a hit from a spliff when I was just a teen
While listenin' to the music of Bob Marley
Yes, everything nice, everything irie
Because this is growing up in a Hawaiian style

Walking through, never knew how to do high school
But I always studied hard never played the fool
Except the times that we cut class and I ditched school too
Meet at my girlfriends house or catch Bus Number 2

I remember how fun it was to turn 18
And the feeling of chasing after all my dreams
Never known which path would be best for me
I prayed the mystics that I made don't follow me

So, let's turn back time
When it was simple and kind
Said we never knew wrong, yeah, we never known better
But right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

Time sure flies, how long has it been?
We lost dear Grandpa and Grandma with him
An uncle too soon when two as been
I wish I coulda tell 'em how much I loved them

There's no more dinners at Grandma's place
'Cause the next generation got a different taste
Pay ten whole dollars for a parking space
Everything sky high on a minimum wage

And kids nowadays don't know what's fun
Getting lost in the Web, they never seen the sun
And whatever happened to the dog I found
'Cause Mom made me give it to the local pound

I made so much friends, some come and go
Some twisted the script and became my foes
But there is one thing that we all know
That you reap what you sow, that's how life goes

So, let's turn back time
When it was simple and kind
Said we never knew wrong, and we never known better
But right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Feel like a kid again, feel like a kid again
Right now I'm wanting to feel like a kid again

When the rain comes falling down
And you know it doesn't follow one man time always
And we're all together in this struggle, oh
Jah, please keep me in your bubble, yeah

Judgement?

I like that thing, I'm gonna make something outta this.
