I was a child   Who ran full of laughter   I was a child who lived for today   My eyes full of sunshine   My heart full of smiles   I was a child for a day   We were the children   Who sang in the morning   We were the children   Who laughed at the sun   Who listened to those who spoke with their wisdom   We are the ones we would say, but      We're getting older as time goes by   A little older with everyday   We were the children of yesterday      We are the men who worry of nothing   We are the men who fight without aim   We listen to no one, yet speak of our wisdom   We are the pawns in the game      We're getting older as time goes by   A little older with everyday   We were the children of yesterday      I was a child   Who ran full of laughter   I was a child who lived for today   My eyes full of sunshine   My heart full of smiles   I was a child for a day      We're getting older as time goes by   A little older with everyday   We were the children of yesterday
