"Oh, to be a child again," they said
To have a brand new heart and brand new head
To find the smallest of all things exciting
To find the biggest of all things inviting
"Oh, to be a child again," they said
At first, I thought it too
But now I'm thinking
And I don't know if I do 'cause I'm just thinking
That maybe we don't miss being younger
Maybe we just miss the wonder
We miss the point of view
But we can have it too
If we really try
All you have to do
Is open your eyes
The world is just the same
As it has always been
The beauty is alive
It's eager to be seen
So don't dismiss the colours
Don't dismiss the sounds
Find comfort in the rain
Find magic in the clouds
As we get older
We fall into a spell
To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves
"Oh to be a child again," they said
Look at them, they have no fears at all
They'll chase their dreams
They'll get up if they fall
But I think the main component
It's not bravery
I think it's just living in the moment
They don't get caught up in the future
Or caught up in the past
Or caught up thinking about the things they don't already have
When you're a child
You don't wish your life away
Or long for other times that isn't now, that's not today
And we can too
If we really try
All you have to do
Is open your eyes
The world is just the same
As it has always been
The beauty is alive
It's eager to be seen
So don't dismiss the colours
Don't dismiss the sounds
Find comfort in the rain
Find magic in the clouds
As we get older
We fall into a spell
To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves
Look out of your window
Look onto the street
Think of those you've met
And think of those you've yet to meet
The magic is around us
There's far more than enough
But I think that we don't notice it as much when we grow up
Just take it in
Maybe then
You'll feel like a child again
Oh, to be a child again
