When I was a child, I understood just like a child,
But now that I am able, I'm gonna lay it on the table,
When I was just a little child, I spoke just like a child,
But now I'm getting older, I'm gonna lay down, lay down,
Childish things
Let me lay it down, Keep on gettin' stronger
Let me lay it down, I don't need them any longer
Childish things
When I was a child I thought just like a child
Now I'm thinking clearer, I don't need them any longer
When I was a a child I walked just like a child,
Now I'm walking better I'm gonna lay down, lay down,
Childish things
When I was a child I understood just like a child
Now that I am able, I'm gonna lay it on the table
When I became a man, I began to understand
I stopped acting like a baby
I'm gonna lay down, lay down
Childish things
Lay down, lay down childish things
