PLAYGROUND Songtext
von Jordan Mackampa

God made a perfect man in the beginning
And you know what?
The only person that God really meant
The only kind that was so God
Was the person that regained Heaven and nothing else
God made everyone from His image
And you know what?-

I used to wake up early, crack a window and let the sun through
Then I would brush my teeth and eat them sweets
That used to make my tongue blue
I was spending hours on the sofa till my eyes went red
My momma said that all that TV′s gonna mess with your head
And now that I am older, all I have to hold are memories (memories)
And I couldn't explain to you (couldn′t explain to you)
How much they mean to me


When we were young we didn't know that time was running away
'Cause we were too busy with dreams
Hanging out in the streets ′til the end of the day
And there′s not a thing I wouldn't give to see the life I used to live
We were kids on the playground (playground)
Take me back to the playground (playground)
I wanna go to the playground (playground)
Take me back to the playground (playground)

I used to go to church and hear the preacher talk for hours
(The world need your help)
And get in trouble with my friends pretending we had superpowers
Back when birthdays were the only way we could measure time
Park ride, our bikes late nights, ′til the sunshine
Do you remember cartoons, Double Dutch?
Grandma's secret recipes (Grandma′s secret recipes)
And I couldn't explain to you how much they mean to me

′Cause when we were young, we didn't know that time was running away
'Cause we were too busy with dreams
Hanging out in the streets ′til the end of the day
(Just hanging out with all my friends)
And there′s not a thing (oh, there's not a thing)
I wouldn′t give to see the life I used to live (I wouldn't give)
We were kids on the playground (playground)
Take me back to the playground
(Take me back, take me back, take me back, please)


When we were young we didn′t know that time was running away
'Cause we were too busy with dreams (dream)
Hanging out in the streets (streets), ′til the end of the day
(End of the day)
And there's not a thing I wouldn't give to see the life I used to live
We were kids on the playground (ooh)
Take me back to the playground (take me back to the playground)
I wanna go to the playground (I wanna go to the-)
Take me back to the playground (take me back to the-)

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
