[Intro ] Childhood… Childhood… Childhood… Childhood… Take me back… just one more time… [Verse 1 ] Running barefoot through the summer rain Laughter louder than the world’s pain No weight on my shoulders, no reason to hide Just a bubble of joy where the sun’s on my side Family close, and the nights felt long Every heartbeat was a brand new song Didn’t care for tomorrow, didn’t carry the fear Just the love in the air, it was always near [Pre-Chorus] I close my eyes, I still can see The child I was, the kid in me The world was small, but it felt so wide No broken dreams, just endless skies [Chorus] I wish I could go back in time Just to be a kid again, alive Living in a bubble, free from sin I wish I could feel it all again Childhood… Childhood… [Verse 2] Golden days when the world was kind Every treasure was the one I’d find Hide and seek, and the fireflies glow Back then I had all I needed to know Family dinners and the late-night talks Drawing pictures on the sidewalk chalk Didn’t care for the storms that would someday come I was safe in the light of where I’m from [Pre-Chorus] I close my eyes, I still can see The child I was, the kid in me The world was small, but it felt so wide No broken dreams, just endless skies [Chorus] I wish I could go back in time Just to be a kid again, alive Living in a bubble, free from sin I wish I could feel it all again Childhood… Childhood… Take me back, take me back inside… [Bridge ] Childhood… Childhood… Childhood… I just wanna be a child again… free again… whole again… [Final Chorus] I wish I could go back in time Just to be a kid again, alive Living in a bubble, free from sin I wish I could feel it all again Cold days fade when I close my eyes Warm nights glow in a younger sky I regret the years I let slip by Take me back to when I could fly Childhood! Childhood! Take me back… just one more time… Childhood… Childhood… Take me back… take me back…
