The Child Inside
Pirates and cowboysPop guns and cheap toysOut in the tree house we made all kinds of noiseWell I would find a new trap door in mindwith all spare tireI'd leave the world behind grass stains on blue jeansFlutter away in the tire swing watch the rollie polliescurl like tiny beadsAnd I would think What a giant I must seemBut a friend I would be to all the smaller things Oh how those days go by Growing older now I wish I could close my eyes and turn back time Well don't you miss all those days? Of younger child Living audaciously Without a care or fragment of doubt So go onward You're a youthful soulTo a land of make believe pretending and day dreams SongtexteThat's the only place you'll find The child insideBand-Aids and cartoonsTooth fairy and apple juiceDown at the park one dayI get mud on my brand new shoes And mom would say, "Son how'd they get that way?"I would reply, "They'd get dirty soon anyway."Blue eyes and blond hairSpankings and teddy bears Wrestle my brother ten thousand times a year And we would fight Yeah kick we'd scratch and biteBut the end of the night We'd hug and make it rightOh how those days go by Growing older now I wish I could close my eyes and turn back time WellOh how those days go byGrowing older stillWatching the world pass tooAnd then it's throughWell don't you miss all those days Of younger child Living out days you seeWithout a care or fragment of doubt So go onward You're youthful soulTo a land of make believe, pretending and day dreams So go onward You're youthful soulOpen up that mind of yoursLet imagination take control Aus Songtexte Mania
