about

When I Was A Boy was written remembering that being a kid is a pretty simple time in life and how what we were taught to believe proves to be a glossed over version of the world and the powerful people who rule it.

lyrics

When I was a boy
I wanted a horse
We'd ride out west
And up to the north
Palomino, painted, or chestnut mare
I wanted a horse to ride everywhere

When I was a boy
My heroes wore white
They'd chase down the bad guys
All day and night
With names like Rogers and Cassidy
They were the good guys
It was plain to see - that's right

When I was a young man
I opened my eyes
Martin, Bobby and John
Made me ask why
Were people done wrong
Because of their skin
When I was young man
I opened my eyes

A word to the young (No more hatred, no more fear)
Take heed today
Our country is headed a dangerous way (Wake the truth and dry your tears)
Led by people
With hate in their hearts
If they have their way
They'll rip us apart

When I was a boy
I wanted a horse
We'd ride out west
And up to the north
Palomino, painted, or chestnut mare
I wanted a horse to ride everywhere
