 PIANO INTRO:
 I think  I'm going back
 To the things  I learnt so well
 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 only pass  the time
 No more colouring  books, no Christmas bells  to chime
 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 wasn't ashamed to reach out
 To a friend
 And now I think I've got
 A lot more than just my toys
 To lend
 Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
 And 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 the true reality
 I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
 A little bit of freedom's all we lack
 So catch me if you can, I'm going back
