We're always reflecting on some aspect of our past, and the process continually recycles. Nostalgia is beautiful, but so is the here and now. Lyrics below. Listen, enjoy, and share!

Simba was the king of the jungle
And scar was his jealous uncle

Verse 1:
A toy cap gun in my hand and a lightsaber on my side
Tomorrow I'll be Superman until I master how to fly
As long as I'm home for supper time, I'll judge it by the pink and purple skies
As soon as the street lights come on I'll race you home
Ready, set, go

Chorus:
A simpler time
When imaginations were making friends before we were shaking hands
Oh, just a simpler time
When my destiny was mine, and I could teach you how to fly
Just put your arms out wide and close your eyes
And sing, wee

Verse 2:
Hop inside my cardboard box and I'll fly us out to space
Tonight we'll catch some fireflies and use them to walk you to your place
It'll only be until tomorrow that I'm knocking on your door
So we can find the perfect sticks pretend their swords and go explore

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3 (Rap):
A just a simpler time making the bus stop by nine
Staring out the window of my world, watching the scenery blur by
And I was never really considering who I was
And now it seems so strange how we grow old and contemplate of a younger age
Always focused on our yesterdays
While we're passing by more yesterdays today
And still nostalgia has me looking out for clues
To that purity that somehow constitutes my youth
Oh, times were just simpler then
I knew my truth, I knew my truth
How about you?
