Small town child...

I looked out of the window and saw the hills covered by fog
All I see now are "small" skyscrapers in the distance, covered by smog
I was a small town child then...

I saw the rains washing away all the stains
All I see now is the rains filling the drains
I was a small town child then...

I looked out of my school bus and saw the beautiful valley
All I see now is slums and narrow alleys
I was a small town child then...

The sky was so blue and the fields so green
The sky here seems to have lost its sheen
I was a small town child then...

The gifts of nature I used to take for granted
All those gifts here are most wanted
I was a small town child then...

God please send me to my small town again...
God please bring back the child again...
