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 realise that you give it on 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 |
| 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction |
| And I found direction |
| There is no childhood's end |
| You are my childhood friend, lead me on |
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived |
| To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie |
Now you realise, 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 |
| 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction |
| And I found direction |
| There is no childhood's end |
| I am your childhood friend, lead me on |
