You Were Once Just Like Me Lyrics

I see you shakin' your head, I hear you whisper my name

You think I'm wild and reckless, and I fill you full of shame

You used to burn with passion, with dreams of your own

Now you're stuck in routine, and forgot what you've known

You had your own revolution, your own way of life

You broke the rules and pushed the limits, like a rebel in strife

You seem to forget, what you had to face

And how you wished the older folks would understand your pace

You may be older, but you were once just like me

With hopes and fears and dreams, feelin' free

You may be older, but you were once just like me

You were wild and young, living life carefree

We're not so different, you and me

We want love and acceptance, we want to be free

We have our own struggles, our own battles to fight

But you've forgotten that we're fighting for the same right

We can learn from each other, we can grow and understand

That age is just a number, there doesn't need to be a plan

Let's break down the barriers and bridge the gap

Live while you can cause it can vanish in a snap

You may be older, but you were once just like me

With hopes and fears and dreams, feelin' free

You may be older, but you were once just like me

You were wild and young, living life carefree

So let's connect and find common ground

Let's show the world that love and understanding can be found

We're from different generations, but we're all the same

Living day by day through heartache and pain

You may be older, but you were once just like me

With hopes and fears and dreams, feelin' free

You may be older, but you were once just like me

You were wild and young, living life carefree

You may be older, but you were once just like me

I'll be older someday, too, but I'll still be me

I'll be older someday, too, but I'll still be me

You were wild and young, living life carefree
