When I was a kid back in the village days
There was a church where I learned the holy ways
After Sunday school I’d share what I knew
Then we’d eat a meal before the service too
After church we’d run through the forest wild
Picking berries sweet like a happy child
Fruits so fresh they shone in the sun
Those golden moments when life was fun
Oh those memories they shine so clear
Like the songs we sang so loud and near
Every moment every laugh every tear
Takes me back to a time so dear
Parents taught me faith and how to pray
Guided me through each and every day
In that village life was pure and true
Simple joys in all we’d do
Oh those memories they shine so clear
Like the songs we sang so loud and near
Every moment every laugh every tear
Takes me back to a time so dear
