The lyrics of ‘The Boy I Was Yesterday’

“A long time ago there was time

to waste time

A moon was hiding

With the sun rising

That light that I swore

that would be forever

I am understanding the sentences

What did my old man say?

And each of your advice

Today they go deep

Deep inside of me

And today I am not even half

From the child I was yesterday

And I don’t want to forget

What I learned from him

teaches me to walk

And since I know how to run

I’m starting to suspect

that in no time will return

As a child I had powers

I climbed the walls

Always in the light

and in the dark

Remember well who you are

Life is a video game

And I’m passing levels

I would like to slow down

And now I remember friends

that go like the wind

And each of those moments

Today they go deep

Deep inside of me

And today I am not even half

From the child I was yesterday

And I don’t want to forget

What I learned from him

teaches me to walk

And since I know how to run

I’m starting to suspect

that in no time will return

long ago there was time

to waste time

And now I just listen

The noise of each concert”
