When I was young I was the sweetest one
And they all were kind and nice to me
When I was young they couldn't do me no harm
And all I did was true and free

When I was young I was the brighter side
And the other others caused the pain
When I was young I had pity on my side
I was the sunshine, they were the rain

And here I am I speak the words
I sing the songs I've ever wanted
And here I am I think the thoughts
I dream my dream I've ever wanted
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

When I was young I got what I wanted
And they gave gave all to me
When I was young I had all I wanted
Sometimes I felt pretty free

And here I am...

And now I know another side and now I do react
It's just another bike I ride and all I do's a fact
You can't tell me what to do cause now I really know
I know now what I got to do so listen - here I go

And here I am...
