I was the one, who would always jump in first
Didn't think twice to look behind
Got such a good feeling, just from playing in the dirt
Once, when I was little

We could build a rocket, fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, and be back for noon
There wasn't nothing, nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little umm
Once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I could believed more then
That the world could only get better
Yeah I could free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little umm ohh lalala

There was a time when I trusted everyone
There was no place that I would not go
Spend a day on the hillside next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yeah once, when I, was little

Yeah I could dream more then
And I believe more then
That the world could only get better
Yeah I could free more then
And I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little

I used to feel so strong
Even when they tell me, tell me I was wrong
That I can't live in a magic world
Cause it's time for me to grow up
That I got to be like the rest of them
When I know there acting up ohh

I could pretend more then
And I could believe more then
That the world it could only get better

Oh I could believe more then yes I could
And I could pretend more then
That this life could only show me good times
Once, when I was little
When I was little

So here comes the next one, the next in line
Stay as young as you can, for the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze just passing through
Once, when I was little
