I Want To Be a Child Again

I want to be a child again… When it doesn’t matter what’s right and what’s wrong, When you don’t know the words to your favourite song, When the town that you live in’s as big as Hong Kong, And your parents tell you when to just run along. I want to be a child again… To feel like everything’s going my way, To live on the moon for a year and a day, To run around carefree, with friends, and just play, And nobody takes all my dreams far away. I want to be a child again… I’d look at the world with my rainbow eyes, I’d read about wonders and not just hear lies, I’d shake off my shackles and take to the skies, And eat a dozen blueberry pies! I want to be a child again… So everything bad would just run down the drain, So I’d graze my knee and that would be pain, So nothing I do is for somebody’s gain, And maybe, just maybe, I’d feel whole again. I want to be a child again But this time… I don’t want to grow up.
