Lyrics

I think I'm goin' back

Contemplating a return to the past

To the things I learned so well in my youth

Nostalgia for lessons and experiences from youth

I think I'm returning to

Expressing the desire to go back

Those days when I was young enough to know the truth

Recalling a time when youthful clarity existed


Now there are no games to only pass the time

Acknowledging the absence of carefree activities

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb

List of childhood activities no longer available

But thinking young and growing older is no sin

Emphasizing the value of staying youthful in mindset

And I can play the game of life to win

Optimism in facing life's challenges


I can recall a time

Recollection of a time unafraid to seek support

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend

Highlighting a past openness to friendship

Now, I think I've got

Belief in possessing more than material possessions

A lot more than just my toys to lend

Understanding the capacity for generosity


Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

Recognition of increased responsibilities

But every day can be a magic carpet ride

Embracing life's potential for joy and adventure

A little bit of courage is all we lack

Encouraging courage to face challenges

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Expressing determination to move forward


Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

Reiteration of the variety in life's experiences

But every day can be a magic carpet ride

Continued acknowledgment of life's magic moments

A little bit of courage is all we lack

Stressing the importance of courage in life

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Asserting the decision to move forward confidently
