When Im thinking back on my childhood
I see horror pictures clearest of everything.
Yes, those times they frighten me or hit me
is those memorys that is the clearest in my mind.

As a child you take love for granted
everthing else is aganst the nature.
Until that moment you take the step out in life
are you a devoted animal.

But soon stands the adults there and point
on the way they think you gonna take.
All those dream theyself have been refused
they wants to realize through their kids.
Are you obedient then you be reward and honourd,
if you revolt then you lost it all.
None love a child that doesn´t succeed,
none loves a child who is strengthen.

But who got the power to know
how many things that can get in a persons head?
And who can tell someone how luck looks like?
Who can tell someone what they wants to be?

Let your flowers root there it is enough earth,
let your flowers live there they like to live.
Don´t lock your flowers in a greenhouse,
avoid them a unnatural life.

Let them as you love try their wings,
one day they fly right.
Do you want respect from your reflection
then show your reflection respect.
