When I Was Young
The Wood Brothers

When I was young I didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain

When I was young I didn't think these lights would ever bring me sorrow

When I was young I thought someday everybody's gonna know my name

When I was young the hardest work I had was waitin' for tomorrow


When I was young I used to wake up early in the morning

When I was young I could climb up a mountain didn't matter how tall

When I was young I didn't listen to anybody's warning

When I was young I could jump; I wasn't afraid to fall


Well now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem

The older I get, the less I know and the more I dream


When I was young I didn't worry about money in my pocket

When I was young I didn't think I'd ever need to buy a diamond ring

When I was young I used to put my heart in a cage and lock it

When I was young I could talk about love but I didn't know a thing


But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem

The bigger I get, the smaller the world, and the less it all means


When I was young I used to say my prayers without the feelin'

When I was young I didn't worry about the things I couldn't understand

When I was young I didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin'

When I was young I guess I didn't believe I'd ever be a man


But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem

I think about God - and I wonder does he think about me
