I didn't write this =)

"Remember when being high meant swinging on the playground,
When wisdom meant wearing a helmet and looking both ways,
Dads shoulders were the highest place on earth and mom was a hero,
enemies were your siblings.
Race issues were about running the fastest.
War was a fun card game.
And the only drug you knew of was cough medicine.
The worst pain you have ever felt was when you had skinned your knees,
and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow,
And yet we couldnt wait to grow up"
Why did we want that?
