When I Was Young

When I was young I rode my big wheel Down a big hill No helmet on When I was young I found a baby bird With no mother I took it in When I was young When I was young Thought I could breakdance In my parachute pants I was so cool When I was young I had no money Never went hungry Thank you Mom As we go through the years Somehow those little fears Grow into something else Our older wiser selves So now I play it safe Oh me of little faith Could learn a thing or two From who I used to be When I was young When I was young I had no regrets No big secrets Except for one I liked a girl I never told her She was older and popular As we go through the years Somehow those little fears Grow into something else Our complicated selves So now I play it safe Oh me of little faith Could learn a thing or two From who I used to be When I was young Each night I'd say my prayers And he was there I slept so well When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young
