When Did It All Change?

When did it all change?

Since I played in my room

When was the last time I picked up my Lego

Or watched a cartoon

When did it all change?

'Cause it sure seems to blend

As if there was a jump from a child

Right into the man

I have become so somber

There's a black cloud over my mind

I often think of a young boy

My mamma said he'd never cry

And it makes me wonder

When did it all change?

When did it all change?

'Cause I don't play anymore

Lego replaced by working for bills

That I can't afford

When did it all change?

'Cause I'm still catching up

Wanting to run away from things that made me

The man I have become

So somber

The black cloud is closing inside

I often think of a young boy

My mamma said he'd always smile

And it makes me wonder

When did it all change?

Cause he didn't have time to decide

Who to be when he'd grew up

He drags the bag of his reckless past

Dead last in the race

And they say

That late is better than never

So with the right measure

Maybe there's

A way to change

The man I have become

So somber

Can I leave the black cloud behind?

I often think of a young boy

And his smile that I'm hoping to find

And it makes me wonder

When did it all change?
