When I was young I was a dreamer
There was a teacher
She said, "Whatcha wanna be?"
I could see the picture
But I didn't tell her
One day you will see (one day you'll see)
I would sit around for hours
Wondering how the world would sing along with me
With the guitar in my hand
In my imaginary band
I was happy, it was my destiny, so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa,
Where did all your wishes go?
When you were happy, it was a destiny, so
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa,
Where did all the days go?
When you were happy, and you were happy, yeah
If I could believe (like a child, like a child)
Money still would grow trees (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
(If I) And if I was allowed to dream (like a child, like a child)
Then maybe I would see a miracle
Now I'm back inside the schoolyard, my childhood sweetheart,
She said, "We'd always be friends"
She made me a bracelet that I keep inside a shoebox
Sometimes I think about where it all went
It was the first time I learnt that nothing lasts forever in this world
I heard she got married, a baby now she carries
She's happy, oh she's happy, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa
So where do all the promises go (tell me where they go)
When you were happy, we were happy, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh whoa (oh whoa)
Maybe one day we will know (maybe one day) (one day)
Still I'm happy
If I could believe (like a child, like a child)
Money still would grow trees (money money money money) (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (money)
(If I) And if I was allowed to dream (like a child, like a child)
Then maybe I would see a miracle
Take my hand, lead me
So I can't stop to live my childhood dream (I wanna go, I wanna go)
A miracle (I wanna see a miracle)
Take my hand, lead me (I wanna go)
So I can't stop to live my childhood dream (I wanna go, maybe I should see)
A miracle (a miracle)
If I open my eyes, would I see (like a child, like a child)
If I could live like a child, would it be (like a child, like a child)
If I could believe (like a child, like a child)
Money still would grow trees (money money money money) (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (money)
(If I) And if I was allowed to dream (like a child, like a child)
Then maybe I would see (maybe I would see) a miracle
If I could believe (like a child, like a child)
Money still would grow trees (money money money money) (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) (money money, money money)
(If I) And if I was allowed to dream (yeah, yes for one day) (like a child, like a child)
Then maybe I would see (maybe I would see) a miracle
