Blood on the Drum - When I Was Young Lyrics

When I was young, I'd get in trouble
I'd sit and think about what I had done
And I'd watch the children who kept playing
As if I was the only one who was cursed under the sun
But soon enough I'd learn my lesson
My time to think had done its chore
Today I'm living in a fast world
Why don't I sit and think anymore?
My daddy took me to a stadium
I watched a rock star sing his songs
And my innocent heart had found its anthem
Someday I'd be the one onstage strumming that guitar
But soon enough my wishful thinking
Had steered along a different course
And now I live a life that's far too busy
Why don't I dream big anymore?
And now this world is where I'm living
It seems to take more than it gives
If I had time to sit and think about it
Maybe in the end I fit right in
But if we ain't dreaming to be rock stars
Then what else is our dreaming for
If, for a moment, we find salvation
Why don't we choose freedom anymore?
Why don't we choose freedom anymore?
Why don't we choose freedom anymore?
