When I was young

I thought the whole world belonged to me.

That nothing can stand between me and my dreams.

It was all black and white

Everything was so clear and bright.

As I grew older

I began to understand

On my own flesh and blood

That if I want to fulfill my dreams

I'll have to go into the dirt and mud

It wasn’t black and white anymore

It was grey, and blue and red- though

I miss these days when I was young

When it was just black and white

And the whole world belonged to me.
