There was a time, I do believe
When life was easy, each day was a breeze

It must have been when I was born
Before this world got to me with its prickly thorns

How I wish I could go back in time
Listening to my mother singing nursery rhymes

Every need was cared for, no need for fear
Hardly a reason to shed a tear

No worry of money, a job or a home
As soon as I could crawl, I was free to roam

Now I’m a grownup, at least that’s what I’m told
I look in the mirror and am amazed I got old

I want to be pure again, free from past sin
I would do anything to start over again
