[Verse 1]
Yeah, I know too much
I think I know my way around
Too smart to feel a heartbreak now
Too old let my safeguards down
Where'd the wonder go?
Trading magic for a measured hope
Traded dreaming for a worn out home
Tired of being in control

[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again

[Post-Chorus]
Woo
Woo
Woo

[Verse 2]
I know that gettin' hurt
Is really how redemption works
My ego is a ball and chain
My instincts only make it worse
In the mornin' light
I don't want to run from pain
You know I can't afford to cheapen grace
I know that pain means my soul's awake
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again

[Post-Chorus]
Woo
Woo
Woo

[Bridge]
Let my past mean nothin'
Make it powerless
I am free like a river
I am free like a river
You're my hope unbroken
You're my innocence
I am free like a river
I'm a child again
Let my past mean nothin'
Make it powerless
I am free like a river
I am free like a river
You're my hope unbroken
You're my innocence
I am free like a river
I'm a child again
[Chorus]
In the cosmic light
In the by and by
I wanna see your heart
Through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice
In the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be
A child again

[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
