Intro

We are grown but cannot see

Lost our world of make believe

Simple times now seem so far

Used to be in my backyard

 yeah, the world was still in my backyard

But, we are okay, we are alright

we sing very loud,

yeah, we're singing

we are okay, we are alright

close our eyes, close our mouth

 yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

Build me a home from a cardboard box

Many windows never locked

This is how we used to play

Shorter nights and longer days

With faith we would not fade away

 But, we are okay, we are alright

we sing very loud,

yeah, we're singing

we are okay, we are alright

close our eyes, close our mouth

 yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt

And so it goes

We can never seem to find the time we lost

Though we try at any cost

We try, we sing

 But, we are okay, we are alright

we sing very loud,

yeah, we're singing

we are okay, we are alright

close our eyes, close our mouth

 yeah, we shut our eyes though we're in doubt
