If I Were Only a Child Again |
| If I were only a child again |
| No one’s ever been, oh, good to me since then |
| Everywhere I looked it seemed so color bright |
| There were never such things to me as black and white |
| The idea of just going, letting all come what may |
| Yesterday to the latest, everything seems quite okay |
| Remember when we were part of that precious few |
| Everything it seemed was so pure and true |
| I guess we were just too young to understand |
| The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only a child again, hey, hey |
| If I were only a child again |
| I would never want to venture life like this again |
| People of the world hurling sticks and stones |
| Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones |
| Only, only, only a child |
| If I were only a child again |
| And have the ability to understand |
| I’d speak for little people from the date of birth |
| And ask the grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? |
| Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth? |
| Brother, when will there be peace on earth? |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only a child again, hey, hey |
| Only, only, only a child |
| Only, only, only a child |
