Testo If I Were a Child Again - Curtis Mayfield
Testo della canzone If I Were a Child Again (Curtis Mayfield), tratta dall'album Back to the World
If I were only a child again
No one's ever been so good to me since then
Everywhere I looked, it seems so color bright
There were never such things to me as black and white
The idea of just going, letting all come what may
Yesterday to the latest, everything seems quite okay
Remember when we were a part of that precious few
Everything it seemed was so pure and true
I guess we were just too young to understand
The unselfish cause of death, and war, and roles of man
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only a child again, hey, hey
If I were only a child again
I would never want to venture life like this again
People of the world hurling sticks and stones
Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones
Only, only, only a child
If I were only a child again
And have the ability to understand
I'd speak for little people from the date of birth
And ask the grown-up, "When will there be peace on earth?"
Grown-up, when will there be peace on earth?
Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only a child again, hey, hey
Only, only...
