Astronaut

When I was a boy I wanted to be an astronaut

I could dream out loud so fearlessly

Traveling through space holding onto an astroid,

Imagined anything that I couldn't see

But then reason took over,

Chased the dragons back into their caves

Rubbing my eyes in the sunlight

Throw my fears on the bonfire

Because the time is so right

To believe in the impossible

And see through the eyes of a child

The eyes of a child

When I was a boy I could talk to the animals

Laugh at all their jokes un-selfconsciously

Couldn't even spell the word responsible

Didn't know the meaning of naïve

But then reason took over

Chased the dragons back into the caves

Rubbing my eyes in the sunlight

Throw my fears on the bonfire

Because the time is so right

To believe in the impossible

And see through the eyes of a child

The eyes of a child

Say goodbye to cynical

Say welcome back to magical

Show sarcasm to the door

You won't need it anymore

Won't need it anymore

Rubbing my eyes in the sunlight

Throw my fears on the bonfire

Because the time is so right

To believe in the impossible

And see through the eyes of a child

The eyes of a child

Rubbing my eyes in the sunlight

Throw my fears on the bonfire

Because the time is so right

To believe in the impossible

And see through the eyes of a child

The eyes of a child
