lyrics

When I was a child I held a flower in my hand
watched the seedlings fly and float away
they flew on a while then fell between some blades of grass
and there they lay

I walked alone, wandered wild in woods
and found the hidden places
people didn't know about
looking for a secret garden
I found treasures buried in the clay

When I was a child I saw silhouettes of friendly faces from a bright stage I sang of Love and Want
accepted flowers and gave autographs
and waited in the wings

When I was a child I rolled in the grass
with my new found friend we didn't think of any other day
we bought candy from the corner store
her parents didn't know she was away

When I was a child I held a flower in my hand
watched the seedlings fly and float away
