Life is good as a child
       D                       G       Em7
Celebrate the day that's just begun
Em7            G            F#m

Running free running Wild
Em7      G     A       D
All is sweet as a child

Time stands still as a child  
Anywhere is just a breath  
Look that butterfly just smiled
A day's a year as a child

 

     C                   D..
As a child I was so bold

As a child I never thought of growing old
           G                  A             C            G

Lived to learn the mysteries I could talk to the trees
           A                 D
Endless wonder as a child

Uncomplicated is the child  So unconcerned about the day to day

Every step is so worthwhile The simple days as a child

I'm trying to live life as a child
Rollin' with the tide that wants to Carry me away

Still making progress all the while Going back to find the child

As a child I was so bold

As a child I never thought of growing old

Lived to learn the mysteries I could talk to the trees
Endless wonder as a child
