I Wish I Could Go Back

I Wish I Could Go Back

One fine day, when all of us will get busy with our lives, with long working hours, no more meeting with friends frequently nor having fun. At such a day, youll look outside your window and see the good old memories flash by you. And then, with a tear in your eye and a smile on your face youll turn back to work, thinking, I WISH I COULD GO BACK. A humble dedication to all those who have been a part of my school life.

1)
There was this place
That taught me to dream
That made me believe, that
Dreams can come true
And showed to me
What theyre really made of
And now I dream
If only, only if I could go back.

I wish I could go back
Back to those days of which I still dream of
Back to my own school days

2)
Now I see in me a child
Who once hated this very place
Who cried a lot, tried a lot
To stay back home from classes
Soon time carried me on its wings
To this place from where I just cant leave
And this child in me now dreams
If only, only if I could go back.

Its funny how years elapse
Rolling on at a frightful pace
And how life can take me
Through a baffling maze
Those mere childhood fantasies of mine
Soon became dreams of who I really am
And then I dream
If only, only if I could go back.

I wish I could go back
Back to those days of which I still dream of
Back to my own school days

3)
Soon we all have to split up
And start chasing this world by its tail
As time drives us away
And destiny tears us apart
Its this same picture from the memory lane
That brings us all back together
And then, we all dream
If only, only if we could all go back.

That old boy in me
Now wants to go back
To times that he holds inside
The fact that its fantasy, he regrets
But sits back low, closes his eyes
And off he goes
And now, hes dreaming
If only, only if I could go back

And I wish I could go back
Back to those days of which I still dream of
Back to my own school days

I wish I could go back
Back to the days of 123s and ABCs
Where each new day brought us a step closer
I wish I could go back
Back to those times of Caesar and Macbeth
Where each of us had a role to play
And I wish I could go back
Back to those days of which I still dream of
Back to my own school days
