Little boy

When I was a little boy It seemed to me that life was a wonderful toy When I was a little boy, growing up was time ready to give But they said... I was nothing more than a fool I tried to play by the rules They gave me something to share here When I was a little boy, everything inside me started to yearn All the energy and joy that I used for play, started to burn And if you live a hundred years, you can never imagine the things that I've seen Ignorance and pain and tears Darker things are lurking under the skin And they said... I was nothing more than a fool I tried to play by the rules They gave me something to share here When I was a little boy It seemed to me that life was a wonderful toy But I guess that I was wrong And I learned the hard way just to accept You'd better now accept!
