Going Back

"Going Back"


I think I'm going back

To the thing I learned so well in my youth

I think I'm returning to

All 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

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 my toys to lend


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

And everyday can be my magic paradise

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 my world the way it used to be

A little bit of courage is all we lack

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


I'm going back

Not just sitting, walking away

Yes, I'm going back

Going back to my youth

Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back

I'm going back
