Take Me Back

Take me back to when I was free
Growing up took from me everything
Just give me back the happy key 

To climb a tree or scrape our knee
To be the highest on the swing 
Take me back to when I was free

Growing up takes the fun that's free
It will fight till it pulls the string 
Just give me back the happy key

Watching loved ones go hurts to a degree
It's a part of getting old, the whole thing
Take me back to when I was free 

Getting older ends the wild spree
You watch things pass and leave, it'll sting
Just give me back the happy key

You'll miss your childhood like you do the tree
The pain will fly at you full swing 
Take me back to when I was free
Just give me back the happy key
