lyrics

When I was young I didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain
When I was young I didn't think this life should ever bring me sorrow
When I was young I thought someday everybody's goanna know my name
When I was young the hardest work I had was waitin' for tomorrow

When I was young I used to wake up early in the mornin'
When I was young I could climb up a mountain no matter how tall
When I was young I didn't listen to anybody's warnin'
When I was young I could jump I wasn't afraid to fall

Now I’m grown
And things are not exactly what they seem
The older I get
The less I know and the more I dream

When I was young I didn't worry ‘bout money in my pocket
When I was young I didn't think I’d every need to buy a diamond ring
When I was young I used to put my heart in a cage and lock it
When I was young I could talk about love but I didn't know a thing

Now I’m grown
And things are not exactly what they seem
The bigger I get
The smaller the world and the less it all means

When I was young I used to say my prayers without the feelin'
When I was young I didn't worry 'bout the things I couldn't understand
When I was young I didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin'
When I was young I guess I didn't believe I’d ever be a man

Now I’m grown
And things are not exactly what they seem
I think about God
And wonder does he think about me
