When you were a baby
It was so easy
You`d laugh and you`d sing
Like the meadow you`d run through ohh
When you where young, ohh ohh
It was so easy
When you were a young man
To accept and believe
In the love that came to you
When you where young, ooh hoo
Now you`ve grown , you`re on your own
What can a mamma say
Should she remind you
That the world out there is not
the meadow you left behind you
And they`ll put you in jail
for living like Jesus you know
Ohh, you know, ohh
That they push till you stumble
and you fall, ohh
They haven`t heard yet
They don`t know, ohh, what you know
That law without wisdom is
No law at all
No law at all
A law without wisdom is
No law at all
And they`ll put you in jail
For living like Jesus you know
Ohh, you know, ohh
What can a mamma say
What can a mamma say
What can a mamma say
When her baby`s grown and gone away
What can a mamma ... say
But she let you go now
and trusted that somehow
your goodness will carry through
to the meadows you knew
When you where young, ohh ohh
To laugh and to sing like the meadow
You`d run through ohh
When you where young, ohh ohh
