When I was a child
The whole world looked so wild
Oh oh - so wild
Then I was a boy
And discovered new toys
Oh oh - the joy
Wanna get it out - gotta get it out
This is my tale - these were the times of my life
Running with the pack - never turning back
Thanks to you all - won't get 'em outta my mind
The days of hope and glory
And nights of solitude
Don't ask me what's the story
There's nothing there for you
Then I was a youth
On the hunt for the truth
Oh so uncouth
Adrift on a blue ocean
So far and so wide
Far far and wide
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Now I am a man
Still a child - deep inside
Deep deep inside
I wandered far and wide
In the dark and the light
The black and the white
[Chorus]
The whole world looked so wild
Oh oh - so wild
Then I was a boy
And discovered new toys
Oh oh - the joy
Wanna get it out - gotta get it out
This is my tale - these were the times of my life
Running with the pack - never turning back
Thanks to you all - won't get 'em outta my mind
The days of hope and glory
And nights of solitude
Don't ask me what's the story
There's nothing there for you
Then I was a youth
On the hunt for the truth
Oh so uncouth
Adrift on a blue ocean
So far and so wide
Far far and wide
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Now I am a man
Still a child - deep inside
Deep deep inside
I wandered far and wide
In the dark and the light
The black and the white
[Chorus]
