childhood

I ran through fields of endless green

Laughed at clouds that I had seen

Life was simple

Wild

And free

I was the king of make-believe

The mirror shows a stranger's face

But in my heart

I find that place

I miss me

I miss me as a child

Running free

Running free

Always wild

Time flies fast

It won't come back

But in my mind

I hear the track

Of childhood echoes

Loud and clear

Skinned my knees

But felt no pain

Chased the sun and kissed the rain

Built a castle out of sand

Believed the stars fit in my hand

The years go on

The moments fade

But memories like songs replayed

I miss me

I miss me as a child

Running free

Running free

Always wild

Time flies fast

It won't come back

But in my mind

I hear the track

Of childhood echoes

Loud and clear
