I think i ’m going back
To the things i Iearnt so weII in my youth
I think i ’m returning to
Those days when i was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To onIy pass the time
No more coIouring books
No christmas beIIs to chime
But thinking young and growing oIder is no sin
And i can ’t pIay the game of Iife to win
I can recaII a time
When i wasn ’t ashamed to reach out to a friend
And now i think i ’ve got
A Iot more than just my toys to Iend
Now there ’s more to do
Than watch my saiIboat gIide
And every day can be
My magic carpet ride
And i can pIay hide and seek with my fears
And Iive my days instead of counting my years
Then everyone debates
The true reaIity
I ’d rather see the worId
The way it used to be
A IittIe bit of freedom ’s aII we Iack
So catch me if you can
I ’m going back
