memories demolished

I HAD A LOVELY DAY TODAY,

SAW MY PAST ALONG THE WAY,

I TOOK A TRIP TO DAYS GONE BY,

IT MADE ME REALISE TIME DOES FLY,

I FOUND THE STREET WHERE I WAS BORN,

JUST TO SEE IT HAD ALL GONE,

I LOOKED IN SADNESS AS IT ALL CAME BACK TO ME,

WHERE MY HOUSE STOOD IS NOW A FACTORY,

A HAPPY LITTLE GIRL WITHOUT A CARE,

USED TO LIVE HERE, IT'S NOT FAIR,

THE WAY THE FUTURE OVERRIDES THE PAST,

GOOD JOB MEMORIES ARE BUILT TO LAST,

BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM LIFE WOULD  BE,

JUST  A LIFELONG MISERY,

EVEN MY SUNDAY SCHOOL STANDS NO MORE,

NOT EVEN A TILE LEFT FROM THE FLOOR,

I WONDER WHAT GOD WOULD MAKE OF THIS,

HIS HOLY NURSERY GONE AMISS,

BUT EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE TAKEN AWAY,

MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES ARE HERE TO STAY.
