[Verse 1]
Yo, remember the yard, the dirt on our hands
Tag on the pavement, chalk in the plans
Back then, every day's a diamond in sand
Now it’s bills, pills, life demands
Time flipped the script, left us in the gray
Was a world of play, now it’s bills to pay
You'd spark the light, I’d follow your sway
Now the spark’s dim, faded away
[Chorus]
Why has time changed us?
We were golden, no rust
Start life the same, but it crumbles to dust
Why has time changed us?
[Verse 2]
Candy wrappers, bikes left in the rain
Now it’s traffic lights, deadlines, strain
Used to climb trees, now it’s corporate chains
Lost in the shuffle, can’t explain
The games we played, now boardrooms and screens
Dreams we chased, now drowned in routines
Start the same way, life’s in between
Where did we go? What does it mean?
[Chorus]
Why has time changed us?
We were golden, no rust
Start life the same, but it crumbles to dust
Why has time changed us?
