Once I could see what my future would be
‘Twas there in the palm of my hand
How many kids and how long would I live
I would follow my own master plan
Now I suddenly see I’m as grown as can be
And I’m livin’ as hard as I can
Yes, I’m older, you see,
But the original me
Is that same little Child of Three
Once there was time, not a tree I didn’t climb
Nor an insect I had not collected
Higher and higher, on a swing, never tired
When we ran through the world well-protected
Now I run my own show, and I’m nearly a pro
And it gets harder and harder as you go
‘Cause I’m older, you see,
But the original me
Is that same little Child of Three
Once I was taught how to walk, how to talk,
How to love, how to fear, how to hate
Try to undo what was harmful to you
As you follow your lifeline to your fate
Yes, the years slip away, and they’re coming in gray
But I’m growin’ a little more each day
‘Cause I’m older, you see,
But the original me
Is that same little Child of Three
Woe is me
Same old Child of Three
I’m just the same little child, oh
I’m just the same, same old
Backgrounds:
Same little child
Same little Child of Three
