Mmm lay our heads down on the green Like when we were young Mmm see the world up from the trees Like when we were young Memories memories Verse 2: How I’d love to find That old place of mine Feel the afternoon glow Something warm something slow But our minds got small When our legs grew tall And our eyes don’t see right Give me soul give me sight Chorus: And I know It’s been so long Since we were children of the sun So we go.. Mmm lay our heads down on the green Like when we were young Mmm see the world up from the trees Like when we were young Memories memories On the green On the green

La chanson évoque une nostalgie profonde pour l'enfance et les souvenirs d'un temps où l'insouciance régnait. Elle parle d'une quête pour retrouver ces moments simples, lorsque l'on pouvait passer des journées à rêver, couché dans l'herbe et regardant le monde depuis les arbres. Le ton mélancolique souligne comment, avec la croissance, notre regard sur la vie change, et comment il devient plus compliqué de ressentir les plaisirs simples de la jeunesse. En toile de fond, il y a ce contraste entre le présent, chargé de responsabilités, et le désir de renouer avec des souvenirs d’un passé plus pur et lumineux. Cette chanson rappelle à chacun la beauté de ces instants fugaces, nous invitant à réfléchir sur la manière dont le temps façonne notre perception du bonheur.
