Once I was a child
Childish games I did play
Carelessly
Ignoring waning days

Once I stood in manhood
Confident strong and blind
Foolishly
Leaving innocence behind

Once I was a lover
Roaming wild and free
Thoughtlessly
Hurting those who loved me

Once I was a pilgrim
My days I did wander
Squandering
All that life did offer

Once I was a dreamer
Now I just remember
Recalling
The things that never were

Once I was somebody         
Now I’m just nobody
Realizing
I never was…
