When I was younger I always thought
I could be someone if I tried enough
When I was younger my father said
Wear a smile, show respect
When I was younger you never said
When I was older I'd feel helpless
When I was younger you shone the light
And now that I'm older it doesn't shine bright
When I was younger you always said
That as I got older you'd always be there
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', ooh
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', ooh
When I was younger I used to care
About everything that my father said
When I was younger you even told me
To show evil the utmost respect
When I was younger I never thought
That when I was older I'd see you give up
Now that I'm older I carry the torch
Just promise you'll stand and you'll be strong
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', ooh
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', ooh
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', ooh
I'm singin', ooh, I'm singin', oh
When I was younger I never thought
When I was younger I never thought
When I was older I'd fight your wars
When I was older I'd fight your wars
I'll do it for you, I'll do it for you
I'll do it for you, I'll do it for
When I was younger I only dreamed
That when I got older you'd be proud of me
When I was younger, promised you both
That when I was older you'd be proud of me
