Lyrics:
I want to learn how to fly
I want to be respected
I want to get lucky
I want to get out of this dump
I just want to watch TV
I want to be loved
I want to be different
I want a brother and sister
I'd just rather be forgotten
I want to save the world
I want to be understood
I want to be rich
Man, I just want to be somebody
Just like prisoners in paradise
Still far from heaven's door
We had it all but still we
Wanted more
Now I realize that I can't
Turn back the future's here
To stay but hey
We're just children of tomorrow
Hangin' on to yesterday

[@iwans8386]

This song rings true to many of us and our lives. One of the most meaningful and powerful for me personally, not to mention melodic and melancholic. *Just like prisoners in paradise* - We live in such an amazing world, a beautiful planet (paradise), but we are imprisoned by our troubled minds, unclear desires and neverending wants that can never seem to be free (prisoner). *So close but yet so far* - we are right here in the most beautiful planet in the galaxy but yet we fail to realize it. The best possible reality for us seems so distant in our mind. But in the physical reality, what we have at this current moment, right NOW, is the best possible thing at the best possible time. The past is dead and who knows if we’ll live to see tomorrow? *We have it all but still we want more* - Often, we feel life is not enough, can have more & can be better. We are ever so greedy that it’s this greed that has imprisoned us.’ *We’re just children of tomorrow, hanging on to yesterday* - We always think the past is better; the 70’s, the 80’s, the 90’s. We are trying to escape from the ‘Now’ because we are not satisfied with what we have now. We cannot let go of the past because we are afraid to face the tomorrow, thinking it will just be worse. Cheers to great songs!
