Lyrics

0:06I think I am going back
0:12To the things I learned so well in my youth
0:22I think I am returning to
0:26Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
0:35Now there are no games
0:40To only pass the time
0:46No more colouring book
0:49No Christmas bells to climb
0:54But thinking young and growing older is no sin
1:05And I can play the game of life to win
1:15I can recall a time
1:18When I was not ashamed to reach out to a friend
1:29Now I think I have got
1:34A lot more than a skipping rope to lend
1:43Now there is more to do
1:47Than watch my sailboat glide
1:51But everyday can be
1:55My magic carpet ride
2:02And I can play hide and seek with my fears
2:10And live my days instead of counting my years
2:44Let everyone debate true reality
2:53I would rather see the world the way it used to be
3:03A little bit of freedoms
3:07All we lack
3:13So catch me if you can
3:18I am going back
I think I am going back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I am returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more colouring book
No Christmas bells to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time
When I was not ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I have got
A lot more than a skipping rope to lend
Now there is more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But everyday can be
My magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate true reality
I would rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedoms
All we lack
So catch me if you can
I am going back
