Goin' Back

I think I'm goin' back

To the things I learned so well in my youth,

I think I'm returning to

The days when I was young enough to know the truth



Now there are no games

To only pass the time

No more coloring 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 a time,

When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend

And now I think I've got

A lot more than a skipping rope to lift



Now there's more to do

Than watch my sailboat glide

Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride

And I can play hide and seek with my fears,

And live my life instead of counting my years



Let everyone debate the true reality,

I'd rather see the world the way it used to be

A little bit of freedom, all we're left

So catch me if you can

I'm goin' back



I can recall,

I can remember



I can recall,

I can remember



I can recall,

I can remember
