Representative lyrics
English (Original Language)
1. Tell me when did we grow upAnd give all our dreams awayWide eyes and wonderAll lost in yesterdayWhen miracles came trueAnd heaven was closerCan we turn back the pagesBack to when we were
Like a child like a child with perfect faithLike it was we were young and wide awakeWe believed we believedWe could do anythingLike a child like a child so full of loveYou remember remember how it wasWe believed we believedWe could do anything
Now that we’re olderIt’s easier to forgetBut our hearts are much biggerSo open up open up and let Him in
Like a child like a child with perfect faithLike it was we were young and wide awakeWe believed we believedWe could do anythingLike a child like a child so full of loveYou remember remember how it wasWe believed we believedWe could do anythingOoh Ooh
Like a child like a child with perfect faithLike it was we were young and wide awakeWe believed we believedWe could do anythingLike a child like a child so full of loveYou remember remember how it wasWe believed we believedWe could do anythingOoh Ooh Mmm
