you were a baby

you were a baby

once upon a time

you were born innocent

you had committed no crime

you laughed when you were happy

you cried when you were sad

you trusted both your parents

'cause they were all you had

now you're all grown up

but the question comes again

you were a baby

what happened way back then?

you were a baby

a long time ago

you've learned a lot since then

but there's so much you don't know

back then, you had your instincts

they told you what to do

but you don't have the memories

that should be in front of you

now you're all grown up

your childhood is all gone

you were a baby

but you still haven't moved on

          therapy and medicine

          are what you do to live

          when you don't know what happened

          there's no one to forgive

you were a baby

it's a natural fact

you can try to remember

but there ain't no going back

but somewhere deep inside you

you're still feeling all the pain

and the problems and results

are all that remain

now you're all grown up

and it's still the same old song

you were a baby

and somewhere

somehow

something went wrong
