We Were the Kids

We were the kids
Who never grew up.
We never obeyed our parents.
Never dared to accept the rules.

We were the kids
Who kicked soccer balls into our neighbors yards.
Set the dog loose on squirrels.
Even ran away from home.

We were the kids
Who ran the streets.
Collecting what we could along the way.
Never daring to look back.

We were the kids
Who never dared to stand alone.
We never backed down
And never hesitated to disobey.
