[00:18.51]If I were only a child again
[00:21.36]No one's ever been, oh, good to me since then
[00:25.53]Everywhere I looked it seemed so color bright
[00:29.31]There were never such things to me as black and white
[00:41.70]Remember when we were part of that special few
[00:45.57]Everything it seemed was so pure and true
[00:49.53]I guess we were just too young to understand
[00:53.40]The unselfish cause of death and war and roles of man
[01:08.76]Only, only, only a child
[01:12.30]Only, only, only a child
[01:17.88]Only, only, only a child
[01:18.78]Only a child again, hey, hey
[01:31.80]If I were only a child again
[01:33.75]I would never want to venture life like this again
[01:37.92]People of the world hurling sticks and stones
[01:41.70]Like the sore fates of one come up and break my bones
[01:58.95]Only, only, only a child
[01:59.55]If I were only a child again
[02:01.83]And have the ability to understand
[02:05.73]I'd speak for little people from the date of birth
[02:09.69]And ask the grown ups, when will there be peace on earth?
[02:12.39]Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth?
[02:18.00]Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
[02:20.13]Only, only, only a child
[02:28.38]Only, only, only a child
[02:32.82]Only, only, only a child
[02:34.92]Only a child again, hey, hey

Grown ups, when will there be peace on earth?
Brother, when will there be peace on earth?
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only, only, only a child
Only a child again, hey, hey
