Childhood's End? (2017 Remastered Version)

And it was morning

And I found myself mourning for a childhood

That I thought had disappeared

I looked out the window

And I saw a magpie in a rainbow

The rain had gone I'm not alone

I turn to the mirror

I saw you

The child

That once loved

The child before they broke his heart

Our hearts

The heart that I believed was lost

Hey you

Surprised?

More than surprised

To find the answers to the questions

Were always in your own eyes

Do you realise?

That you give it on back to her

But that would only be

Retraced and all the problems that you ever knew

So untrue

For she's got to carry on with her life

And you've got to carry on with yours

So I see

It's me

I can do anything

I'm still the child

Cause the only thing misplaced was direction

And I found direction

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

Cause you are my childhood friend

Cause you are my childhood friend

Oh lead me on

Hey you

You've survived

Now you've arrived

To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie

Now you realise

That you gotta get out of here

You found the leading light of destiny

Burning in the ashes of your memory

You wanna change the world

You've resigned yourself

To die a broken rebel

But that was looking backward

Now you've found the light

You the child

That once loved

The child before they broke his heart

Our hearts

The heart that I believed was lost

So it's me

I see

I can do anything

I'm still a child

Cause the only thing misplaced was direction

And I found direction

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

There is no childhood's end

I am your childhood friend

Oh lead me on
