Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I was young
Seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it's beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees
They'd be singing so happily
Joyfully, oh playfully watching me
[Verse 2]
But then they sent me away
To teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
They showed me a world
Where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
[Verse 3]
There are times
When all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am
[Verse 4]
Now watch what you say
Or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh fanatical, criminal
Won't you sign up your name
Like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable
[Verse 5]
But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please
Please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am
Who I am
Who I am
Who I am
[Verse 6]
Please, please, please show me what
Please, please, please show me what
