We are born to this fantasy
   Can't believe what they've done to you
   Hard to see all these years go round
   Taught to hide all that's true inside
  
   What was it like
   When you were a child?
   Did you see the world
   In a different light?
   When the veil came down
   Our destiny grew away from us
   Don't it make you weep
   Can't you see
  
   I believe that we were meant for each other
   We'll get along somehow
   If they leave us alone
   Why don't they let us be
   ...Just what we want to be
   Don't it make you weep, can't you see?
  
   I can't believe what they've done to you
   They've got you just where they wanted you
  
   When we sleep, dream each other's dreams
   Casting memories on a sea of hope
   Remember life as a child could be
   Bring it back for all of use to see
  
   What was it like
   When you were a child?
   How did it feel?
   Did your mother treat you kind?
   Mend those broken toys?
  
   For in your heart there's innocence
   Waiting to be free, can't you see?
  
   When you were a child
