I t hink I'm going back
To the th ings I learnt so well
In my youth
I t hink I'm returning to
Those d ays when I was young enough
To know the truth
Now there ar e no games to only pa ss the time
No more c olouring books no Christmas bells to chime
But thinking y oung and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life t o win
I can recall a time
When I w asn't ashamed to reach out
To a friend
And n ow I think I've got
A l ot more than just my toys
To l end
Now there's m ore 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
Let everyo ne debate the true rea lity
I'd rather see the world the way it used to b e
A little bit of freedom's all we lack
So catch me if you can I'm goi ng back
