Lyrics
He lost himself in Vietnam
Just a young boy at war
Then one day he told Uncle Sam
He wasn't fighting no more
He did some time in prison
Now he's living all alone
Moving town to town
Just trying to find a home
He's seen his childhood dreams slowly fade away
He's just a child of another day
Child of another day
I met a pretty dancer
She wore a Jimi Hendrix shirt
Her eyes advertised
All the ways that she'd been hurt
She told me she had three kids
And they were her joy in life
Then she cried when she told me
She used to be somebody's wife
But her children have all grown up
And moved away
She's just a child of another day
Child of another day
Teddy was a veteran
He served his country well
He'd seen it all
And he had stories he could tell
But his country had forgotten
And he was living on the street
Wearing thrift shop fashions
And bumming food to eat
But as he held out his hand
All the people turned and walked away
He's just a child of another day
Child of another day
Here comes a guy
I've met a million times before
He tells me to slow it down
He says remember less is more
He doesn't understand it
It don't sound like it should
It don't fit his preconceptions
So it can't be any good
But I just ignore him
I don't care what he says
'Cause he's a child of another day
He's a child of another day
But I just ignore him
I don't care what he says
He's just a child of another day
Child of another day
