When I was a boy, I had a dream

All about the things I'd like to be

Soon as I was in my bed

Music played inside my head

When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I learned to play

Far into the night and drift away

Don't want to work on the milk or the bread

Just want to play my guitar instead

When I was a boy, I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company

In those beautiful days when there was no money

When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy, I had a dream

Finding out what life could really mean

Don't want a job 'cause it drives me crazy

Just wanna sing, do you love me, baby?

When I was a boy, I had a dream

And radio waves kept me company

In those beautiful days when there was no money

When I was a boy, I had a dream

When I was a boy
