ThoseDays!,
when I wish to grow and be on my own
But here I am wishing to remain a child cause the planet is crushing on me.
Self-defense is so difficult than hiding under the shield of parents
Those days!
when I wish to get married and make my youngsters
But here I am wishing I remain single forever
For responsibilities are calling day and night
So hard to bear so I wish I remain alone
Those days!
When I wish to become a lawyer and make good money
ln lieu, lawlessness has made me locked up behind those metals called cell
I am a slave forever and have no one to save me
Aaaah! Aaah!! Aaah!!!
Should this be my destiny, then take it away from me
Those days!
When I wish to drive in big cars with a cool breeze
But here I am with the sole of my foot clinging to the stomach of the earth
With the tongue of the sun licking my head
Hmmm take it from me, I say
For I can't bear it no more
Those days!
Freedom is derived from being a child so we play all-day
But now responsibilities handcuff us like prisoners
We walk with unseen handcuffs on the street.
If wishes were horses I would have to live forever in my childhood paradise
Those Days!
