Going Back

I think I'm going back

To the things I learned 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 electric trains, no more trees 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 wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend

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

But every day can be a magic carpet ride

And I can play hide and seek with my fears

And live my days instead of counting years

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

But every day can be a magic carpet ride

A little bit of courage is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm going back

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

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
