There’s still time,
It’s ages away
There are things to do, places to be,
As long as the sun shines, I’m going to make hay.
I have not changed; I don’t see the need,
Why is everybody in such a rush?
The future cannot be foreseen, it is not ours to map out,
Let’s enjoy the scenery, while it’s green and lush.
I’m going to make every moment count,
The days may trickle away, like sand in an hourglass.
But I don’t care, I won’t care,
I’m still a kid; I’m going to remain as I am and as I was.
Maturity will come when it will come,
Why won’t people stop nagging me?
So what if I’d rather sleep than study, play than plan?
Time will not leave me behind, just you wait and see!
I want to laze around and stare at the clouds,
I want to count the curving petals of a daisy, to toss a Frisbee with my dog,
I’d love to wrap myself up cozily and watch a movie, anytime, anywhere.
Is this desire to be free so wrong?
The deadline is but a speck in the distance,
I’ll be ready when it’s in clear sight.
When the future arrives, I’ll surpass them all.
But I want to wait. There’s still time for me. Right? Right?
