When I was a little boy
I didn't need to see through the rain
When I was a little boy
No one asked me to explain
When I was a little boy
My path was free and clear
When I was a little boy
The future was all I'd hear
It seems like a miracle that I've come so far
It seems like a miracle that I'm with you
When I was a younger man
There was little I didn't understand
When I was a younger man
I sure was quick to take a stand
When I was a younger man
I'd swim against the river's flow
When I was a younger man
I never worried about an undertow
It seems like a miracle that I've come so far
It seems like a miracle that I'm with you
Now I am an older man
The proof is plain to see
Now I am an older man
Some truth has come to me
Because I am an older man
I see things as they really are
Because I am an older man
I realize we're all just shooting stars
It seems like a miracle that I've come so far
It seems like a miracle that I'm with you
