When I Was A Child

I was reaching for the future

Slowly floating in the blue

When I was a boy

I dreamed a dream of you

I danced upon the tree top

I drifted with the stream

When I was a child

I held you in my dreams

Oh-oh-oh oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh ohhh

Oooooooh

Once I was a soldier

In my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then

I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber

When I was a boy

I was walking with a stranger

He left without a trace

When I was a boy

I slept at Heaven's gate

Once I was a soldier

In my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then

I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber

When I was a boy

Once I was a soldier

In my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then

I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber

Oh, when I was, when I was, when I was

When I was, when I was, when I was, oh oh oh oh, ooh yeah

Once I was a soldier

In my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then

I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber

When I was a boy

Yes, you know and so I wonder

through it grows and grows

when i was a boy

I was a boy

I was a boy
