D       Em    G
I was a child

Who ran full of laughter
D       Em          G           A
I was a child,  who lived for today

My eyes full of sunshine

My heart full of smiles

I was a child for a day

We're getting older as time goes by

We were the children of yesterday

We listen to no one, yet speak of our wisdom
G          Em           A
We are the pawns in the game

We're getting older as time goes by

A little older with everyday

We were the children of yesterday
