When I was young
I listened to the birds singing
Early in the dawn
As the sun rises
When I was young
I listened to the birds singing
Early in the dawn
As the sun rises
I'm sitting here in a boring room
Wondering if the blues will hit like a broom
All is quiet
But the heat beats one and all alike
Once upon a time
When the heart was young
The world a playground
Joy dancing in the air
Today is a hot, hot Malaysian day
The sun baking like an oven
Cooking the brain
Stopping the heart beating
