Once, When I Was Little

I was the one who would always jump in first I didn't think twice to look behind Got such a good feeling just from playing in the dirt Once when I was little We could build a rocket, fly to the moon Leave Tuesday morning, be back for noon And there wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do Oh, once when I was little, once when I was little Yeah, I could dream more then I could believed more then That the world could only get better I could be free more then I could pretend more then That this life could only show me good times Once when I was little There was a time when I trusted everyone There was no place that I would not go Spend all day on the hillside next to the barley mow Oh, once when I was little, yeah, once when I was little Yeah, I could dream more then And I believe more then That the world could only get better I could be free more then I could pretend more then That this life could only show me good times Once when I was little I used to feel so strong Even when they'd tell me, tell me I was wrong That I can't live in a magic world 'Cause it's time for me to grow up And I've got to live like the rest of them Well, I know things have been lost Oh, I could pretend more then And I could believe more then That the world, it would only get better Oh, I could believe more then, yes I could And I could pretend more then That this life, it could only show me good times Once when I was little So here comes the next one, next in line Stay as young you can, for the longest time 'Cause those days flew by Like a breeze just pa*sing through Once when I was little
