When I was a child
Things were just so wild
It was you and me
We were really free
Always on the run
Always having fun
When I was a child
I remember things so clearly
Growing up as I did
My friends and I played daily
At nighttime we hid
Our minds went exploring
With every book we read
The page’s were like lightning
‘Maginations…fully fed
When I was a child
Things were just so wild
It was you and me
We were really free
Always on the run
Always having fun
When I was a child
And in our dreams we’d tumble
Exploring new found shores
Filling our nights with treasure
By opening up new doors
When I look upon it now
A smile will find my face
I’ll never be alone
My memories…a saving grace
When I was a child
Things were just so wild
It was you and me
We were really free
Always on the run
Always having fun
When I was a child
It was you and me….
We were really free…
When I was a child…

This is a song I wrote in the mid to late ’90s. My theater company, The Brothers Grinn, had a lot of songs under our belt(s) and we decided to record our own music cassette. Yes, cassette. CD’s were on the way in, but cassettes were still a viable music medium. I have probably over 100 cassettes still.
When I have a chance, I’ll figure out how to download the music and post it here. Otherwise, hope you like the lyrics. Yes, I also wrote the music, with an assist from my (then) musical director, Christopher Carbone.
