Píseň: When you were a child

Think visual
We are born to this fantasy 
Can't believe what they've done to you 
Hard to see all these years go round 
Taught to hide all that's true inside 


What was it like 
When you were a child? 
Did you see the world 
In a different light? 
When the veil came down 
Our destiny grew away from us 
Don't it make you weep 
Can't you see 


I believe that we were meant for each other 
We'll get along somehow 
If they leave us alone 
Why don't they let us be 
...Just what we want to be 
Don't it make you weep, can't you see? 


I can't believe what they've done to you 
They've got you just where they wanted you 


When we sleep, dream each other's dreams 
Casting memories on a sea of hope 
Remember life as a child could be 
Bring it back for all of use to see 


What was it like 
When you were a child? 
How did it feel? 
Did your mother treat you kind? 
Mend those broken toys? 


For in your heart there's innocence 
Waiting to be free, can't you see? 


When you were a child
