When I Was a Kid

From the age of nine I knew where I was going, my mind was made up from the start
Just a kid at school who would conquer the world
Not just pretend, when I was a kid, when I was a kid
My mind was strong, I made plans for the future
Oh, such a clever kid
But now I'm tall I don't know which way to go, which way to go

Oh to wish for
Now I long for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid

Youth is so innocent, children tell the truth
Innocence is the sweetest thing
Don't wish to grow up, it comes all too soon, way too soon

Oh to wish for
Now I long for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid

Should look to the future
Should look too the future

Oh to wish for
Now I long for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid

I see my children with high ideals
I only hope they never fade
A peaceful world to live in, clean air to breath, no baby crying to sleep

Oh to wish for
Now I long for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid

Should we worry about our fears
Should we worry about our fears
Should we worry about our fears

Oh to wish for
Now I long for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid

Oh to prey for
Now I hope for
When I was a kid
When I was a kid
