That Feeling
I dream
I  dream about a time when we were kids
when it all didn't matter
When we stayed out all day playing baseball
in the street with all the others.
We used to create our own adventures
and some adventures were there to begin with.
The old lady who has the bee-hive hair
with the 1950 car who lived next door.
We were all scared of her
because we thought she ate kids
Remember those nights
talking about when we would grow up
and get married at 21?
Well now your near 21 and you don't see yourself
anywhere near married
Or engaged
or involved.
But you dreamed it.
We dreamed when we were sixteen
how it would be so cool to hang out with the Big Kids
We  dream about when saturday morning cartoons
was an accurate account of the REAL world
Now your source is the 6 o'clock news

I dream now.
And I wake up.
I realize the problems are so much bigger.
And everyone who played baseball
is gone.
And that old lady has died and you realize now that she was
just a lonely lady and not the witch you made her to be.
And your friends now
aren't your friend then.
And you don't know who to turn to
when you want to reminence.
Now you're not too sure you'll ever get married
And your 16 and you can't wait to become an adult.
And get some respect!
And now the problems are more serious
A little more deep rooted then not getting a Barbie
To dream as kids  do
With the expectations
the wonder
the hope.
the innocence
I dream.
