When I Was Young
(Chorus x2)
When i was young
Many days spent underneath the summer sun
When i was young
Long nights spent looking at the stars above

(Verse 1)
When i was young
Nowhere to run
(When i was young)
But towards my dreams
(When i was young)
In my mind lied places unseen
A free soul like the birds who sing
I remember the time when I was like 8 or 9
Simple life, me and a bike. Up and down the block till them streetlights relight
Bumping crank that, while my chain hanged low. (Hang Low)
Fools gold around my neck swear i didn't know. (I didn't)
But still, i rode, crew of one, the loner in my soul. (Yeah)
Spent some time at my home away from home
The state where you find them yellow brick roads
Where oldies got engraved into my dome
Gill Scott heron, last poets, and miss Nina Simone
Forged this voice you've come to known
(chorus x2)
When i was young
(When i was young)
Many days spent underneath the summer sun
When i was young
(When i was young)
Long nights spent looking at the stars above
When i was young
(When i was young)
Many days spent underneath the summer sun
When i was young
(When i was young)
Long nights spent looking at the stars above

(Bridge)
I hope these memories never go
I hope your future looks as bright as before
I hope you remember the stories I told
When I'm not quite as young anymore

Sometimes i wish
I could go back
But deep down I
Don't really want that

(chorus x2)
When i was young
(When i was young)
Many days spent underneath the summer sun
When i was young
(When i was young)
Long nights spent looking at the stars above
When i was young
(When i was young)
Many days spent underneath the summer sun
When i was young
(When i was young)
Long nights spent looking at the stars above
