There was a time when moon followed me
Now knowing the truth, different moon I see
Television used to show me the future
Wanted doraemon's time machine to travel to future
Thought spiders could make me superhero
For me valueless number was zero
Swallowing a seed could grow tree inside me
Thought dogs were he and cats were she
Floor could turn to lava and bed was safe
Adult could do everything themself
Thought clouds were a huge floating cotton
Almonds could make me remember everything that was forgotten
I thought clothes hid intentionally
To make mom yell at me brutally
Collection of balloons could make me fly
Elder siblings were made to make us cry
I though teachers lived at school
Having many wrestling cards would make me cool
I could sleep all I want if I grow up
Knowing the actual truth is tough
