Child For A Day - Cat Stevens

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
