[Verse 1] [twinkling sparkles] [soft toy piano echoes] When I was younger, The moon followed me home. Clouds were giant sheep, And the sidewalk was a sleeping snake alone. [tiny starlight bells] The mailbox got hungry, The trees talked after dark. The wind was invisible puppies, Running circles through the park. [Pre-Chorus] [curious glockenspiel blips] The stars were tiny pinholes, Punched into the night. The world was full of questions, And every answer felt right. [wonder-filled shimmer] [Chorus] [floating music-box tones] [playful xylophone footsteps] Child like mind, Wondering all the time. Rain was the sky thinking, Music had colors to find. [tiny bell sparkle] Child like mind, Nothing stayed confined. Every strange impossibility Was perfectly designed. [Verse 2] [bubble-pop percussion] [dreamy toy-box resonance] Puddles were windows, To an upside-down place. Houseplants were studying humans, With curious leaves for a face. [gentle kaleidoscope chimes] Shoes remembered journeys, Birds delivered invisible mail. Crickets were the sound of grass thinking, Telling their tiny tales. [Pre-Chorus] [whispering wind toys] The creek carried stories, The mountains slept all day. The sun rolled home tired, And the moon borrowed light on the way. [Chorus] [twinkling sparkles] [rainbow chime cascade] Child like mind, Wondering all the time. Rain was the sky thinking, Music had colors to find. Child like mind, Nothing stayed confined. Every strange impossibility Was perfectly designed. [Bridge] [music-box constellation] [floating crystal droplets] Thunder was furniture moving Across cloud-covered floors. Dreams leaked out at sunrise Through invisible doors. [gentle sparkle trail] Snowflakes were sky feathers. The attic was another country. The refrigerator was a cave monster With a lamp inside its tummy. [playful glockenspiel answer] Dandelions grew wishes. Mirrors were paper-thin gates. The ocean kept secrets in jars, While balloons negotiated with fate. [Instrumental Break] [the stars listen patiently] [tiny bell conversations] [the wind rearranges leaves into secret messages] [curious toy percussion wandering] [the toys quietly begin their evening shift] [soft music-box march] [the universe continues making itself up as it goes] [Final Chorus] [maximum wonder shimmer] [childlike sparkle cascade] Child like mind, Still hidden deep inside. The colors never vanished, They just learned where to hide. [floating starlight bells] Child like mind, Still wandering tonight. Looking for the magic Adults leave out of sight. [Outro] [gentle music-box breathing] [distant dream chimes] The trees still whisper. The moon remembers every road home. Clouds drift by in woolly herds. [soft sparkle bloom] The wonder was never lost. The world remains stranger Than we're willing to admit. Growing older simply teaches us How to overlook parts of it. [one final glockenspiel plink] [lingering rainbow shimmer] [fading toy-box resonance] [End]
