Whoa oh, whoa oh, whoa oh
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, oh
When I was just a little child
I sopke just like a child
But now that I am older
I'm gonna lay down, lay down
Childish things

Oh, let me lay it down
And keep on gettin' stronger
Let me lay it down
I don't need them any longer
Childish things

Whoa!
When I was a child
I thought just like a child
Now I'm thinking clearer
I don't need them any longer, oh
When I was a child
Well, I walked just like a child
Now I'm walking better
I'm gonna lay down, lay down
Childish things

Oh, let me lay it down
And keep on gettin' stronger
Let me lay it down
I don't need them any longer
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, oh
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
Lay down, lay down childish things
