Was it real

I'm there all the time
It's where I'm from
the years have erased
the world I grew up in
was it real
can you help me confirm
even when I talk about it
it seems so far away
but I remember like it was yesterday.
but there was a time
and it seemed so simple
we weren't so afraid of each other
where is my mother she's gone to
She belongs to the past
As soon we will too.
