On looking back the long gone years time seems to have gone fast
And all you have are the memories of the young faces of your past
The girls and boys you grew up with in your first hometown far away
You often wonder about them where they may be today?
The young faces of your long gone past you often visualize
Since you last met them face to face there has been many a sunrise
Some of them like you migrated and some at home did stay
And time leaves it's mark on everyone as someone wise did say
You made your own way in the World as every migrant do
And do your young friends of the past today remember you?
On their lives journey just like you new friendships they have made
And only the memories of what was in time don't seem to fade
The World has changed since you were young time with it change does bring
And change that is for the betterment is only a good thing
In the town where you grew to adulthood today your's may be a stranger's face
In surroundings once quite dear to you there you may feel out of place
Life's journey ends for all of us on some future night or day
And some of the young friends you grew up with at peace forever lay
The young friends of your first hometown they are no longer young
And as well as your memories the only thing you have left of your past is the accent on your tongue.
