| 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 |
