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
