I'd like to be a child again
So many things to do
Playground noise and color toys (color toys)
And everything brand new

I'd like to be a pirate ship
In search of hidden gold
On ocean waves I'd swim away (swim away)
And sail around the world

Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?
Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?

I'd like to be a soldier
A general I would be
In battle and in glory
With ten thousand men to lead

I could be most anything (anything)
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me

Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?
Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?

Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?
Where (where) where were you
When I needed you most?
When I needed a friend?
