[Verse 1]
I'd like to be a child again
So many things to do
Playground noise, and coloured toys
And everything brand new

[Pre-Chorus]
I'd like to be a pirate ship
In search of hidden gold
On ocean waves that swim away
And sail around the world

[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

[Verse 2]
I'd like to be a soldier
A general I would be
In battle and in glory
With ten thousand men to lead
[Pre-Chorus:]
I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me

[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
I could be most anything
There is so much to see
I'd live a different story
If you were next to me
[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend

[Chorus]
Where, where were you
When I needed you most
When I needed a friend
Where, where were you
When I needed...
