Childhood

When I was young I felt free Had no cares Everything was new to me Always believed I still had a chance Hadn’t lost hope Lived in innocence Laughed out loud I would dance and sing Though I was small I could do anything Now I look back Wish for my past The good things in life They never last I want to feel free again That peace I felt, it’s been awhile Wish I could go back, go back to when When I was young, when I was a child When I was young I was told That when I grew up Life would be gold Looking back I never understood Life was much simpler In my childhood Those good days have passed And life has gone so fast Want to turn back the time Back when time was mine I want to feel free again That peace I felt, it’s been awhile Wish I could go back, go back to when When I was young, when I was a child I’m feeling aches Now that I’m getting older Loved ones passed away I’m a wounded soldier How many years ahead I’m getting slow When will I die When’s my time to go? I want to feel free again That peace I felt, it’s been awhile Wish I could go back, go back to when When I was young, when I was a child
