Goin' Back

I think I'm goin' 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 coloring books

No Christmas bells to chime

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

And now I think I've got

A lot more than a skipping rope to lift

Now there's more to do

Than watch my sailboat glide

And everyday 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 everyone debate the true reality

I'd rather see the world the way it used to be

A little bit of freedom's all we're lack

So catch me if you can

I'm goin' back
