WHEN I WAS YOUNG
IT SEEMED THAT LIFE WAS SO WONDERFUL
A MIRACLE, OH IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, MAGICAL
AND ALL THE BIRDS IN THE TREES
WELL THEY´D BE SINGING SO HAPPILY
JOYFULLY, PLAYFULLY WATCHING ME
BUT THEN THEY SENT ME AWAY
TO TEACH ME HOW TO BE SENSIBLE
LOGICAL, RESPONSIBLE ,PRACTICAL
AND THEY SHOWED ME A WORLD
WHERE I COULD BE SO DEPENDABLE
CLINICAL,INTELLECTUAL,CYNICAL
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN ALL THE WORLD´S ASLEEP
THE QUESTIONS RUN TOO DEEP
FOR SUCH A SIMPLE MAN
WON´T YOU PLEASE, PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE´VE LEARNED
I KNOW IT SOUNDS ABSURD
BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHO I AM
NOW WATCH WHAT YOU SAY
OR THEY´LL BE CALLING YOU A RADICAL
LIBERAL, FANATICAL, CRIMINAL
WON´T YOU SIGN UP YOUR NAME
WE´D LIKE TO FEEL YOU´RE
ACCEPTABLE, RESPECTABLE, PRESENTABLE, A VEGETABLE!
AT NIGHT WHEN ALL THE WORLD´S ASLEEP
THE QUESTIONS RUN TOO DEEP
FOR SUCH A SIMPLE MAN
WON´T YOU PLEASE,PLEASE TELL ME WHAT WE´VE LEARNED
I KNOW IT SOUNDS ABSURD
BUT PLEASE TELL ME WHO I AM, WHO I AM ,WHO I AM
