When I was young, life was so much fun
Never knowing how it was to be
Now on my mind, the troubles of mankind
Things now exist I never used to see
And still of men, life begins again
A child of mine and his when he has grown
There was a time, wish once again was mine
When I would play among the fields of green
Now takes their place, the progress of our race
And now to me these fields are just a dream
And still of men, life begins again
A child of mine and his when he has grown
And still of men, life begins again
A child of mine and his when he has grown
