No Going Back

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
 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 ashamed 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
 And everyday can be my magic carpet ride
 And I can play hide and seek with my fears
 And live my days 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's all we're lack
 So catch me if you can
 I'm goin' back
