Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well
In my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough
To know the truth
[Verse 2]
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older
Is no sin
And I can't play the game of life to win
[Verse 3]
I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out
To a friend
Now I think I've got
A lot more than just my toys to lend
[Verse 4]
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sail boat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage
Is all we lack
So catch me if you can
I'm growin' back
[Verse 5]
La, la, la
[Verse 6]
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sail boat glide
But every day can be
A magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage
Is all we lack
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back
[Verse 7]
La, la, la
Ah, ah, ah
