| And it was morning and I found myself mourning
|
| For a childhood that I thought had disappeared
|
| I looked out the window
|
| And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone
|
| I’m not alone, I turned to the mirror
|
| I saw you, the child that once loved
|
| The child before they broke his heart
|
| Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
|
| Hey, you surprised? |
| More than surprised
|
| To find the answers to the questions
|
| Were always in your own eyes
|
| Do you realize that you could’ve gone back to her?
|
| But that would only be retraced in all the problems
|
| That you ever knew, so untrue
|
| For she’s got to carry on with her life
|
| And you’ve got to carry on with yours
|
| So I see, it’s me, I can do anything
|
| And I’m still the child
|
| 'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction
|
| And I found direction
|
| There is no childhood’s end
|
| There is no childhood’s end
|
| 'Cause you are my childhood friend
|
| 'Cause you are my childhood friend
|
| Oh, lead me on
|
| Hey you, you’ve survived, now you’ve arrived
|
| To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
|
| Now you realize that you’ve got to get out of here
|
| You’ve found the leading light of destiny
|
| Burning in the ashes of your memory
|
| You want to change the world
|
| You’d resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
|
| But that was looking backward
|
| Now you’ve found the light
|
| You, the child that once loved
|
| The child before they broke his heart
|
| Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
|
| So it’s me, I see, I can do anything
|
| I’m still the child
|
| 'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction
|
| And I found direction
|
| There is no childhood’s end
|
| There is no childhood’s end
|
| There is no childhood’s end
|
| I am your childhood friend
|
| Oh, lead me on |
