There was a time when I was young A boy with bold ambitions There was a time when I could tell The crooked from the wicked one
There was a song that someone sung A hint of recognition There was a time I knew you well enough To know you won't be gone
Come with me tonight Tell me how it feels to be alive
There was a time I had respect A name of reputation There was a time When I could watch myself Without being disgraced
Come with me tonight Let us find a place where we can hide
Come into the light Let me show you how we stay alive
