Lyrics
Verse 1:
To be that little child, innocent and sweet
To never worry if you'll get enough to eat
Things will not always go the way that you planned
That may be the hardest thing for a child to understand
Chorus:
I can't change, but the world changes me
Makes me into something I don't want to be
For better or worse I'll have to wait and see
I can't change but the world changes me
Verse 2:
To go back to the time when the world was more fair
To have no power but not really care
With no experience I could stay naive
And know about this world what I choose to believe
Repeat Chorus
Solo
Verse 3:
To be that little child, innocent and sweet
To never worry if you'll get enough to eat
Things will not always go the way that you planned
That may be the hardest thing for a child to understand
Repeat Chorus
