If I Were Only a Child Again

Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones

Everything it seemed was so pure and true
Only, only, only a child

If I were only a child again
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Everywhere I looked it seemed so color bright
If I were only a child again
I'd speak for little people from the date of birth
I guess we were just too young to understand
And ask the grown ups, when will there be peace on earth?
Remember when we were part of that special few
I would never want to venture life like this again

There were never such things to me as black and white
Only, only, only a child

Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth?

The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man
Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
Only, only, only a child
Only a child again, hey, hey
People of the world hurling sticks and stones
Only, only, only a child
And have the ability to understand

Only, only, only a child
