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 colouring 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 the time
When I wasn't ashamed
To reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than just a skipping rope to lend
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And 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 my years

So 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 lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
Catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

I'm goin' back
