When the world and I were young, just yesterday.

Life was such a simple game, a child could play.

It was easy then to tell right from wrong.

Easy then to tell weak from strong.

When a man should stand and fight, or just go along.

It was easy then to tell truth from lies..selling out
   Em
from compromise.
F        C   Am    Dm   Em    F
Who to love and who to hate, the foolish from the wise.

How much to protect your heart and how much to care.
