I longed to grow older
Quicker than normal
Faster than usual

I longed to change from being an ordinary master
To a full mister

To father lives
That will give birth to husbands and wives

Now that I'm there
The burden I can't bear

Can't be somewhere
When I wish to be there

Lacks the ability

For usual availabily

If only I can turn back the hand of time
My troubles will I calm

If only I can switch from being old
And return to those days when I was a child
