I was reaching through the future slowly floating in the blue
When I was a boy I dreamed a dream of you
I danced upon the tree top I drifted with the stream
When I was a child I held you in my dreams
Oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh
Once I was a soldier in my castle strong
Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber when I was a boy
I was walking with a stranger, he left without a trace
When I was a boy I slept at Heaven's gate
Once I was a soldier in my castle strong
Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber when I was a boy
Once I was a soldier in my castle strong
Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber oh, when I was, when I was, when I was
When I was, when I was, when I was, oh oh oh oh, ooh yeah
Once I was a soldier in my castle strong
Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber, oh
Yes, you know and so I wonder
Through it grows and grows
When I was a boy, I was a boy, I was a boy
