Childhood

When we were young everything was right
And our future seemed so bright
We were dancing underneath the rain
Didn't know sorrow, didn't know pain

All we saw were rainbow colours
We would watch dark clouds for hours
Never thought they were foreshadowing
The troubles adulthood will bring

Joy filled our souls and our hearts
How were we to know from the start
The bitter road that awaits us when
Eventually our childhood ends
