When I Was a Child
When I was a child I stood and watched the farmer burn his field
I saw the snake that bit the heel of the woman who worked the wheel
And with a worried mind, I watched shadows moving slowly from afar
Counting all them cars on the boulevard
I don't really know this world, I don't really know this world
I don't really know this world, pull the curtain from my eyes
When I was a child I dreamt I saw the axe that fell the tree
It was never rooted in history, just smoke and mirrors
Now that I'm a man, I see nothing's gonna change
When we're left to our own ways, we remain the same
I don't really know this world, I don't really know this world
I don't really know this world, pull the curtain from my eyes
I ain't seen nothing but the wind and rain
Til I looked through the eye of the hurricane
I saw the snake that bit the heel of the woman who worked the wheel
And with a worried mind, I watched shadows moving slowly from afar
Counting all them cars on the boulevard
I don't really know this world, I don't really know this world
I don't really know this world, pull the curtain from my eyes
When I was a child I dreamt I saw the axe that fell the tree
It was never rooted in history, just smoke and mirrors
Now that I'm a man, I see nothing's gonna change
When we're left to our own ways, we remain the same
I don't really know this world, I don't really know this world
I don't really know this world, pull the curtain from my eyes
I ain't seen nothing but the wind and rain
Til I looked through the eye of the hurricane
