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
