When you were young and just a child
Do you recall how things were wild?
When they told you that the change was here
And when it hit, you were drowned in fear
When the clouds, they blocked the sun
And now, you need a guide
For again, clear is the sky
And when you’ve taken my hand
Then, yes then you’ll know
Just what is what and to be
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
For the time of the Right is here
Lost is the children’s fear
Look, to the rising sun
Breathe, like you’ve never done
Then, only then will you know
Just what is what and to be
When you were young and just a child
Do you recall how things were wild?
When they told you that the change was here
And when it hit, you were drowned in fear
When the clouds, they blocked the sun
When all that brought joy, was no longer fun
I was the voice inside your head
Telling you it was time to move onward
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!
Look, to the rising sun
Breathe, like you’ve never done
Smile, at the bluing sky
For the change has finally come
Look, to the rising sun
Breathe, like you’ve never done
Smile, at the bluing sky
For the time of the Right in here
Author's Note: Partially inspired by the lyrics and music of Argent. I had never heard of them when I first saw the band perform on the TV series The Midnight Special back in 1975. Despite some trepidation, the song is about acceptance of becoming an adult.
