A childhood belief about misheard lyrics

I used to believe…

That 'army' marching song that goes "Wherever we go (wherever we go), People always ask us (People always ask us), Where do you come from? (Where do you come from?)" etc. Well we used to sing it at Brownies and for ages I thought it was "Wherever we go, we think of all disasters". I thought it was about being contemplative about people who'd been affected by wars and things.
My Brownie leader overheard me, cracked up laughing and told everyone, making me look like a fool. I've never really got over it. She shouldn't have been allowed to be a leader....
