When I was a kid,
I ran through the fields
Picking all the flowers
I had nothing to fear

The sun was always shining
The raindrops never fell
My life was practically perfect
Not like a living hell

My face was always smiling
My soul was always free
But who knew the kind of kid,
That i would grow to be

The sun suddenly stopped shining
The raindrops started to fall
And suddenly I realized,
I wasn't perfect at all

I grew up to be a teenager
My green fields turned to brown
My soul became trapped
And my smile turned upside down

Things were totally different now
My life began to change
I kept looking up for sunshine
But all i felt was rain

My friends noticed something
They'd never seen before
Sorrow, Sadness, Depression and Hate
It filled my heart, and it filled my soul

For in my heart, and in my soul
There was this special key
The key to open my door of life
The key to set me free

Instead I opened that door of hate
That I have loathed to see
I felt my eyes well up with tears
As I wanted to kill me

My life is better now
Not like it used to be
I am still not happy
And im still not completely free

To have my wings, and soar again
Is all i want to do
To have my life the way it was
And not try something new
