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't 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 every day 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
Then everyone debates 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
