When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful |
|
A miracle |
|
It was beautiful, magical |
|
All the birds in the trees, they'd be singing so happily |
|
Joyfully |
|
Playfully, watching me |
|
But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible |
|
Logical |
|
Responsible, practical |
|
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable |
|
Clinical |
|
Intellectual, cynical |
|
There are times |
|
When all the world's asleep |
|
The questions run too deep |
|
For such a simple man |
|
Won't you please |
|
Please tell me what we've learned |
|
I know it sounds absurd |
|
But please tell me who I am |
|
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you radical |
|
Liberal |
|
Fanatical, criminal |
|
Won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable |
|
Respectable |
|
Presentable, vegetable |
|
At night |
|
When all the world's asleep |
|
The questions run so deep |
|
For such a simple man |
|
Won't you please |
|
Please tell me what we've learned |
|
I know it sounds absurd |
|
But please tell me who I am |
|
Who I am |
|
Who I am |
|
Who I am |
|
There are times |
|
When all the world's asleep |
|
The questions run too deep |
|
For such a simple man |
|
Won't you please |
|
Please tell me what we've learned |
|
I know it sounds absurd |
|
But please tell me who I am |
|
Who I am |
|
Who I am |
|
Who I am |
