I was reaching through the future slowly floating in the blue

When I was a boy I dreamed a dream of you

I danced upon the tree top I drifted with the stream

When I was a child I held you in my dreams

Oh oh, oh oh

Oh oh, oh oh, oh

Ooh

Once I was a soldier in my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber when I was a boy

I was walking with a stranger, he left without a trace

When I was a boy I slept at Heaven's gate

Once I was a soldier in my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber when I was a boy

Once I was a soldier in my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber oh, when I was, when I was, when I was

When I was, when I was, when I was, oh oh oh oh, ooh yeah

Once I was a soldier in my castle strong

Oh I stood so tall then I could do no wrong

Innocence and slumber, oh

Yes, you know and so I wonder

Through it grows and grows

When I was a boy, I was a boy, I was a boy
