If I Were a Child Again
If I were only a child again,
No one's ever been, oh, good to me since then.
Everywhere I looked, it seems so color bright.
There were never such things to me as black and white.
The idea of just going, letting all come what may.
Yesterday to the latest, everything seems quite okay.
Remember when we were a part of that precious few,
Everything it seemed was pure and true.
I guess we were just too young to understand
The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only a child again, hey, hey.
If I were only a child again,
I would never want to venture life like this again.
People of the world hurling sticks and stones
Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones.
Only, only, only a child.
If I were only a child again,
And have the ability to understand,
I'd speak for little people from the date of birth
And ask the grown-ups when will there be peace on earth.
Grown-ups, when will there be peace on earth?
Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only a child again, hey, hey.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
No one's ever been, oh, good to me since then.
Everywhere I looked, it seems so color bright.
There were never such things to me as black and white.
The idea of just going, letting all come what may.
Yesterday to the latest, everything seems quite okay.
Remember when we were a part of that precious few,
Everything it seemed was pure and true.
I guess we were just too young to understand
The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only a child again, hey, hey.
If I were only a child again,
I would never want to venture life like this again.
People of the world hurling sticks and stones
Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones.
Only, only, only a child.
If I were only a child again,
And have the ability to understand,
I'd speak for little people from the date of birth
And ask the grown-ups when will there be peace on earth.
Grown-ups, when will there be peace on earth?
Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
Only a child again, hey, hey.
Only, only, only a child.
Only, only, only a child.
