  • When I was a boy, I had a dream
    All about the things I'd like to be
    Soon as I was in my bed
    Music played inside my head
    When I was a boy, I had a dream

    When I was a boy, I learned to play
    Far into the night and drift away
    Don't want to work on the milk or the bread
    Just want to play my guitar instead
    When I was a boy, I had a dream

    And radio waves kept me company
    In those beautiful days when there was no money
    When I was a boy, I had a dream

    When I was a boy, I had a dream
    Finding out what life could really mean
    Don't want a job 'cause it drives me crazy
    Just wanna sing, do you love me, baby?
    When I was a boy, I had a dream

    And radio waves kept me company
    In those beautiful days when there was no money
    When I was a boy, I had a dream
