[Verse 1] I dropped my school bag on the floor Then I vanished through an unseen door In just the space between two blinks I felt a white light pull me in I woke up in a stranger’s room Outside the window, gentle noon The little lines across my hands Were not the same as they had been [Pre-Chorus] When I looked into the glass There was a different face Tried to speak but all that came Was shaking, empty breath [Chorus] A hundred years of morning But I’m still only ten inside A hundred years of morning My mind is frozen in that time Deep inside my backpack All of my memories stayed My yesterday flew into space [Verse 2] Blanket-white in hospital light All my fingertips were turning ice Doctor let his tired gaze fall Slowly shook his head and said no more From so far, a school bell still rings Echoes of a distant spring Children’s laughter rising and falls Shaking on the other side of glass Time will never turn back its flow Future walks on footprints of old With these tiny, trembling hands I reached out and touched that sky [Pre-Chorus] I want to run so fast But both my feet feel chained I want to break away But I can’t slip the ties [Chorus] A hundred years of morning But I’m still only ten inside A hundred years of morning My mind is frozen in that time Deep inside my backpack All of my memories stayed My yesterday flew into space [Bridge] All the memories of my youth Finished in ten short years Then a hundred years ahead Reset futures reappeared Still I stand here, standing still If I could just say “I’m home” That alone would be enough With these wrinkled, fragile hands I will turn the future’s key [Final Chorus] A hundred years of morning But I’m still only ten inside A hundred years of morning My mind is frozen in that time Deep inside my backpack All of my memories stayed My yesterday flew into space A hundred years of morning Earth is still shining blue I’m still a child within Memories stuck in place Earth begins to turn again (Abduction) (No one ever noticed it)
