Mixing with the birdies on the high wind Flying like a little sparrow does The freshest breeze and balmy seas hit us like a dream Soaring like the cherry trees above Living like the days have no beginning Moving through the shoots of green shadows We sprint across like popinjays piping through the air The crops and fields are quilted far below And if I could take it back, I would The innocence I'll never know again And if I could take it back, I would The innocence I'll never know again Oh yeah, we are all the same, dear We're wounded but we'll live, we'll live again Oh yeah, we are all the same, dear We're wounded but we'll live, we'll live again Yeah, we're wounded but we'll live, we'll live again Oh, we're wounded but we'll live, we'll live again Stop all of your criticizing, baby Think the thoughts you used to think back then When opinions were not on your mind, spilling from your tongue But you were just a sapling on the mend
