When we were young
We were foolish
And confused
We thought challenges
Were easy so
We laughed at pain
And cried for joy
Whenever one arose;
When we were young
We knew volumes
About nothing
We told everyone
Who would listen
That we knew it all
But the world we knew
Was a fantasyland
And reality
Was weird and strange;
When we were young
We worried ourselves to pieces
Over frivolous things
Of no consequence
And treated them as though
They'd affect the world
And life as we knew it;
When we were young
We believed the unbelievable
We took nonsense as fact
And lies as truth
We thought up was down
And this was that
And wrong was right
When we were children
Because when we were young
We were foolish
And confused.
