Select language to translate this lyric
Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it,
This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for
myself
The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any
meaning
My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to
myself
The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and short-
sighted
These years passed me by, to realise the folly of these unripe
Now I am a man, I realise
My unworldly sins pained many lives
Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen
And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes
But with age the conscience slowly dawns and bonds of
duty gently tied
All my sins, seen through now there is experience and
recollecting act in virgin guise.
Master inner voices, making the choices
Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection
And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion
