When I Was Young

When I Was Young

When I was young
I never knew life could be so hard
When I was young
I never knew I could hurt so bad
When I was young
I thought blood came from the body

And they say God killed his only son
For the sins of the world
Put him up on a cross
For the sins of the world
With nails in his hands
And thorns in his head
For the sins of the world

And a spear through his body
And tears in the maidens eyes
For the sins of the world
For the sake of mankind
For everyday people, like me and you
Like me and you

John Tonner
