I was reaching for the future
Slowly floating in the blue
When i was a boy
I dreamed a dream of you
I danced upon the tree top
I drifted with the stream
When i was a child
I held you in my dreams
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh ohhh
Oooooooh
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
I was walking with a stranger
He left without a trace
When i was a boy
I slept at heaven’s gate
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
Oh, when i was, when i was, when i was
When i was, when i was, when i was, oh oh oh oh, ooh yeah
Once i was a soldier
In my castle strong
Oh i stood so tall then
I could do no wrong
Innocence and slumber
When i was a boy
Yes, you know and so i wonder
Through it grows and grows
When i was a boy
I was a boy
I was a boy
