All my hopes and dreams scatter like ashes
Up in flames, a quiet disaster
One day something went wrong, everything changed
Now we’re patching these holes in our souls where a ball and chain…
We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed, we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children
We used to fill our days running just to pass time
Now life’s a race we’re running just to survive
Now my bones are tired and I’ve grown weary
There were dreams in my mind, dreams I could see so clearly
We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed, we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children
Where did you go, simple little heart of mine?
Feels like every year you’re a little more hard to find
We were better off when we were little children
When our faith came as easy as breathing
When we dreamed, we could fly
Hope was shining in our eyes
We were better off when we were little children
