WHEN I WAS A CHILD Lyrics

Why would I give up now

If I came so far from where I started from

Why when times get hard we crawl

And we bawl in a ball and fall

Innocent dreamer

Dream on dreamer

Don't let go of your hope

You might fold

But that's normal to do just as long as he don't die

Don't lose your inner child

Don't let him die

Hold onto your inner child

Keep him alive

Don't forget why you do what you do

I had more faith in you

When I was a child

I never hated you

When I was a child

I never talked you down

When I was a child

I thought I'd make you proud

When I was a child

I felt things

Bumped my head

Bruise my arm

Scrape my knee

Break my leg

Yes, I bleed

Whole lotta red

Someone make sure the child ain't dead

Don't lose your inner child

Don't let him die

Hold onto your inner child

Keep him alive

Don't forget why you do what you do

I had more faith in you

When I was a child

I never hated you

When I was a child

I never talked you down

When I was a child

I thought I'd make you proud

When I was a child

I had more faith in you

When I was a child

I never hated you

When I was a child

I never talked you down

When I was a child

I thought I'd make you proud

When I was a child

Don't forget why you do what you do

Hold onto your inner child

Keep him alive
