I’d like to lose all time again
And look for trees to climb again
Recite a little rhyme again
Dream a reckless dream
For someone I’d exiled in me
Awoke today and smiled in me
I need to find the child in me again

Oh I know that we all grow older
Grow sadder, grow wiser, grow colder, grow up
So I look for myself leaving no stone unturned
All I need to recapture the truths I’ve unlearned
The honesty, the open face, the simple faith and easy grace
I didn’t see the time erase the child I used to be

I’ll have to wait a while and see
She may come back in style in me
I need to find the child in me again

~~~♫♫♫ ~~~

Oh I know that we all grow older
Grow sadder, grow wiser, grow colder, grow up
So I look for myself leaving no stone unturned
All I need to recapture the truths I’ve unlearned

To find myself a child again
To meet the morning mild again
To run headlong and wild again
Into a dawning dream
It seems like such a precious thing
Peace beyond imaging
But Winter will give way to Spring again

It seems like such a precious thing
Peace beyond imagining
Yet she’ll awake and smile in me
And she’ll be reconciled in me
I need to find the child in me again
I need to find the child in me again
