🎵 “This Was My Playground” Verse 1 The trees, they whisper softly In fields where I once played The river runs as always Through golden memories made Buildings torn and broken A skyline changed with time But that old oak still stands there In sunset’s fading shine Pre-Chorus Everything’s different now But something still remains Chorus This used to be my playground Now I walk an older man Back then the days were endless We never had a plan No train to catch each morning Just be home before the dark No rules to live by back then Our whole world was the park Verse 2 Paint still stains the old walls Graffiti lingers on But the words feel empty now Like the meaning’s come and gone What happened to the feeling? What happened to the skill? Echoes of a younger voice That somehow lingers still Pre-Chorus Time keeps moving on But it won’t erase it all Chorus This used to be my playground Now I walk an older man Back then the days were endless We never had a plan No train to catch each morning Just be home before the dark No rules to live by back then Our whole world was the park Bridge I’ve travelled far and wide Seen corners of the earth But nowhere holds the same as this The place that gave me birth Through every road I’ve wandered Every face I’ve known There’s something in this quiet ground That still feels like my home Final Chorus (Lifted) This used to be my playground Where life began to start Where time was never measured And dreams were all we had No train to catch, no worries Just the freedom in our spark No rules to live by back then Our whole world was the park Outro The trees still whisper softly… Like they remember me
