I was the one
Who would always
Jump in first
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
There wasn't nothing
Nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little
Humm 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
Humm
There was a time
When I trusted everyone
There was no place
That I would not go
Spend a day on the hillside
Next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yeah 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
Used to feel so strong
Even when they 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
That I got to be
Like the rest of them
When I know
There acting up
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
Humm
So here comes the next one
The next in line
Stay as young as you can
For the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze
Just passing through
Once, when I was little
