I'd like to be a child again  So many things to do  Playground noise, and colored toys  And everything brand new  I'd like to be a pirate ship  In search of hidden gold  On ocean waves that swim away  And sail around the world  -Chorus:  Where, where were you  When I needed you most  When I needed a friend  Where, where were you  When I needed you most  When I needed a friend  I'd like to be a soldier  A general I would be  In battle and in glory  With ten thousand men to lead  I could be most anything  There is so much to see  I'd live a different story  If you were next to me  Chorus  Chorus  I could be most anything  There is so much to see  I'd live a different story  If you were next to me  Where, where  Chorus to fade
