lyrics

Then I was a dreamer
Then I was a star
Then I was a hero
Then I wrecked some cars

Then I was a brother
Then I was a son
Then I was a mother
Then I played the drums

Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream unrestrained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days

Used to be a fighter
Used to be a cop
Then I was a writer
Then I learned to walk

Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream un-detained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days

Then I was a singer
Then I was a saint
Then I was a winner
Then I learned to hate

Then I was a grown up
Then I went to war
Learned to follow orders
But I’m not quite sure what for

Used to be I used to see love in spades
Used to be I used to dream unrestrained
Used to be my life was a hit parade
Used to be I used to breathe in the days
