Swing (music and performance by Christian Lido, lyrics by Ria April Avalon)

Kids of yesterday have all grown,
We are changing, it is getting harder,
We forget who we are,
But I know

There's a child in everyone's soul,
Reminiscence wakes an old feeling,
It just makes life whole,
It is healing.

I remember my best friend through all these years,
In a swing that took us to the far-off sky,
My own sky was always blue and clear,
How I miss that time.

When my peers send me pictures, I start to cry,
They are torn, still black and white, but they are mine,
In that swing we could even fly,
Nothing could feel so fine.

I remember that swing
And that yard, and my house that's shattered,
I would hover and sing
To my friend.
I remember it all
And its magic that seemed never-ending,
But life's taken its tall
On everyone.

Everybody on the planet Earth
Belongs to a lovely magic place
It's what you can't erase
From your life.

Nothing matters when your mind gets back and takes you
To your summer, swing and that old far-off yard,
It is always in your heart,
Recalling the life so true.

I remember that swing
And that yard, and my house that's shattered,
I would hover and sing
To my friend.
I remember it all
And its magic that seemed never-ending,
But life's taken its tall
On everyone.
But life's taken its tall
On everyone.
