I had the boots, the cape, my shield, and I'd take on the world
And I always won
I was a renegade, a kid that played up in the clouds
Too close to the sun
But when did I trade in the cape for concrete?
When did the weight of the world get heavy?
When did the hero in me get scared of heights?

I want the sky back in my hands
I want the feel back in my dance
Growing up doesn't have to mean
I lose the cape, the faith, the dream
I'm so done with that
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back

I'm taking it back to when the slightest wind would pick me up
And take me anywhere
But when did the magic turn into logic?
When did the "have it" turn into "lost it"?
When did the hero in me get scared of heights?

I want the sky back in my hands
I want the feel back in my dance
Growing up doesn't have to mean
I lose the cape, the faith, the dream
I'm so done with that
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back

And I had the boots, the cape, my shield, and I'd take on the world
And I always won

I want the sky back in my hands
I want the feel back in my dance
Growing up doesn't have to mean
I lose the cape, the faith, the dream
I'm so done with that
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back, back, back
