Lyrics

As a child, the eyes look on with wonder
At an unspoiled world
Where the love of all things
Reigns over money
And everything is free

I want to lose control like a child
Where nothing is expected of me
Except to say please and thank you
And to remember to wipe my hands clean

When I was young
And I was out of my head
When I was young
And the world was special

As the years and time go on
And I get older
I can feel it slipping from me
When love becomes lust
And obligations replace purity

I want to believe in monsters and magic
Make believe and potions
When all I need is my imagination
And fun was for free

When I was young
And I was out of my head
When I was young
And the world was special

-Bridge-

When I was young
And I was out of my head
When I was young
And the world was special
