When I Was Younger
from Unreleased Songs by Voda
lyrics
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I THOUGHT I KNEW IT ALL
(WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I CLAIMED THIS LAND FOR SPAIN)
I THOUGHT I WAS BIG THEN, BUT I WAS STILL SO SMALL
(AND EVER SINCE THEN, NOTHING'S BEEN THE SAME)
WE CALL IT PROGRESS, BUT NOTHING'S CHANGED AT ALL
TEAR IT DOWN, REBUILD IT TWICE AS TALL
I REMEMBER WALKING THROUGH THE TOWN
AND I REMEMBER THE VULTURE'S CIRCLING 'ROUND
TO TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND
AND WHAT WE'VE LOST WILL NEVER BE FOUND
(WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I CLAIMED THIS LAND FOR SPAIN)
I THOUGHT I WAS BIG THEN, BUT I WAS STILL SO SMALL
(AND EVER SINCE THEN, NOTHING'S BEEN THE SAME)
WE CALL IT PROGRESS, BUT NOTHING'S CHANGED AT ALL
TEAR IT DOWN, REBUILD IT TWICE AS TALL
I REMEMBER WALKING THROUGH THE TOWN
AND I REMEMBER THE VULTURE'S CIRCLING 'ROUND
TO TAKE AWAY WHAT YOU BUILD YOUR LIFE AROUND
AND WHAT WE'VE LOST WILL NEVER BE FOUND
