Kinks - When You Were a Child текст песни

We are born to this fantasy

Cant believe what theyve done to you

Hard to see all these years go round

Taught to hide all thats 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

Dont it make you weep

Cant you see

I believe that we were meant for each other

Well get along somehow

If they leave us alone

Why dont they let us be

...just what we want to be

Dont it make you weep, cant you see?

I cant believe what theyve done to you

Theyve got you just where they wanted you

When we sleep, dream each others 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 theres innocence

Waiting to be free, cant you see?

When you were a child
