Composers * Roger Hodgson Genre * Pop Producer * David Wall Hit Trax * www.MIDI.COM.AU =============================== When I was young It seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees Well they'd be singing so happily Oh joyfully, oh playfully watching me
But then they sent me away To teach me how to be sensible Logical, oh responsible, practical And then they showed me a world Where I could be so dependable Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times When all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man
Won't you please Please tell me what we've learned I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am
I said now what would you say Now we're calling you a radical A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Oh won't you sign up your name We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable!
Take, take, take it
But at night, when all the world's asleep The questions run so deep For such a simple man Won't you please Won't you tell me Please tell me what we've learned Can you hear me I know it sounds absurd Why won't you help me But please tell me who I am Who I am, who I am, who I am
