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
