When we were young 10 minutes was an hour When we were young We hated taking showers When we were young Monsters were our greatest fear When we were young We didn't know trouble would be near Now that we're older We see life's hidden truths Now that we're older We know what pain is Now that we're older We don't know where the gain is We don't tolerate being played with Things that used to say made with love Are now given heartlessly with a shove Can I be young once more So I can cherish what I used to adore?
