The Child I Was

(And The Man I'd Hoped To Be)

Sometimes, in the easy calm of a loving friend

Or the endless sea.

I can still recall the child I was

And the man I'd hoped to be.

And the man I'd hoped to be.

Knowing, I forget to think of my journey's end

In my search for me.

I can still recall a fortress built

On the mountain in my tree.

On the mountain in my tree.

And I wonder 'bout another way

I can make it through to another day.

Is this all we have to give?

Is this all we have to live?

Sometimes, someone takes me back

Where there's time to spend

And your days are free.

I can still recall the dreams I had

And the world I'd hoped to see.

And the world I'd hoped to see.

I Don't Want To Be Good (I Want To Be Free)"
