As a child

Each day seemed to last forever

All the answers

To mysteries were mine to uncover

As a child

I was entertained by simple pleasures

All the questions

Were ways to find the hidden treasures

As a child

Sheltered by my innocence

I was searching

For ways to climb the highest fences

The days go by

Where did the time go

[Chorus]

Goodbye once upon a time

No more thinking I'm past my prime

Goodbye once upon a time

No more living in the past

What's mine is mine

As a young man

My life's gone through so many changes

All the dragons

I thought I'd slain became my frustrations

As a young man

I've come to meet my childhood's end

All the answers

Have since convinced me, I should stop pretending

As a young man

Finally I've realized

I've been dreaming

Living with my past disguises

Where did the time go

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]
