Verse

You are sitting, by the roadside,

Thinking about the world.

When you realise that this was,

Like a story you once heard.

About a child, far away,

Who never did wrong,

He did no harm,

Did not hurt anyone,

Instead he just wrote songs.

Chorus

Youre a child, no one hurt you,

But youre the only one inside your mind,

Still a child, but you do not know,

You just say that you are old.

Verse

If you were seven, once again,

Would that make a difference to you,

What if we say, you really are,

Then I wonder what youd do.

When you realise, that you are,

Just like the child in this story,

But youre real and youre present,

Youre not yet part of history.

Chorus

Youre a child, no one hurt you,

But youre the only one inside your mind,

Still a child, but you do not know,

You just say that you are old.
