Remember when:
Getting high meant swinging in the playground,
When protection meant wearing a bike helmet,
And when the worst thing you could get from boys were cooties?
Dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth;
and Mum was your hero?
Your worst enemies were your siblings,
Race issues were about who ran the fastest,
The only drug you knew was cough medicine,
Wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut,
The only thing that hurt you was skinned knees,
and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow?
And we couldn't wait to grow up.
