When I was younger I always thought
I could be someone if i tried enough
When I was younger my father said
Wear a smile and show respect

When I was younger you never said
When I was older I´d feel helpless
When I was younger you shone the light
Now that I´m older it doesn´t shine bright

When I was younger you always said
That as I got older you´d always be there

I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing

When I was younger I used to care
About everything that my father said

When I was younger you even told me
To show evil the upmost respect

When I was younger I never thought
That when I was older I´d see you give up
Now that I´m older I´ll carry the torch
Just promise you´ll stand and you´ll be strong

I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing

I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing
I´m singing

When I was younger I never thought
When I was younger I never thought
That when I was older I´d fight your wars
That when I was older I´d fight your wars

I´ll do it for you
I´ll do it for you
I´ll do it for you
I´ll do it for

When I was younger I only dreamed
That when I got older, you´d be proud of me
When I was younger I promised you both
That when I was older, you´d be proud of me
