lyrics

When I Was A Child

I recall when I was a child
Everything was worthwhile:
Bright summers, the greenery
Acorns falling from the trees

I flew space and fought a race
To save the moon and the stars
I met a bright green beauty queen
We made life on mars

I want time to rewind
Back when I was a child
When life was on the silver screen
Back when I was a child
Way back when dreams were worth to dream

Getting older’s such a drag
Late for work but not the slab
Wash the car; pay the bills
Happiness comes in a pill
Love is gone, love is old
No where else left to go

There you’ll find me swimming by
On a twenty thousand league high
In Captain Nemo’s submarine
Fighting monsters in the deep

This mind is more than just a cell
To keep the dreams that once fell through
Imagination takes me where I need to be

Watch me go in rewind
Back when I was a child
When life was on the silver screen
Back when I was a child
Way back when dreams were worth to dream
Way back when dreams were worth to dream
Way back when dreams were worth to dream
