| You were young, just a child
|
| Imagination running wild
|
| There was nothing but the glow
|
| Of fireflies and chasing rainbows
|
| Wonder where that child went
|
| Vanished with your innocence
|
| He grew up and he was told
|
| He better stop daydreaming
|
| There’s no sunshine in your face
|
| There’s no blue sky in your brain
|
| You just lay in bed all day
|
| Watching the world twist away
|
| That child is still alive
|
| In that prison of your mind
|
| Don’t be afraid, you don’t have to hide
|
| Just put your little hand in mine
|
| 'Cause tonight we’re gonna fly
|
| Like birds of paradise
|
| Remember when you were green
|
| And you touched eternity
|
| Seems like only yesterday
|
| All you ever did was play
|
| Now you walk the ruined road
|
| You don’t let your garden grow
|
| You let it lay there paralyzed
|
| You give it only poison
|
| No more sunshine in your face
|
| No more blue sky in your brain
|
| You just lay in bed all day
|
| Watching the world twist away
|
| That child is still alive
|
| In that prison of your mind
|
| Don’t be afraid, you don’t have to hide
|
| Just put your little hand in mine
|
| 'Cause tonight we’re gonna fly
|
| Like birds of paradise
|
| There’s no sunshine in your face
|
| There’s no blue sky in your brain
|
| You just lay in bed all day
|
| Watching the world twist away
|
| That child is still alive
|
| In that crescent of your mind
|
| Don’t be afraid, you don’t have to hide
|
| Tonight we’re gonna fly
|
| Yeah, tonight we’re gonna fly
|
| Like birds of paradise
|
| Show yourself and come outside
|
| Put your little hand in mine
|
| Yeah, tonight we’re gonna fly
|
| Like birds of paradise |
