And it was morning And I found myself mourning,
Bm G
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared
D F#m
I looked out the window And I saw a magpie in the rainbow,
Bm G
the rain had gone I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror
E D Bm E
I saw you, the child, that once loved The child before they broke his heart
D Bm E
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
D F#m Bm G
Hey you, surprised? More than surprised
D F#m
To find the answers to the questions Were always in your own eyes
Bm G
Do you realise that you give it on back to her?
D F#m Bm G
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew So untrue
D F#m
For she's got to carry on with her life
Bm G
And you've got to carry on with yours
E D Bm E
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child
E D Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction
E
There is no childhood's end
E D Bm E
You are my childhood friend, lead me on
D F#m Bm G
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived
D F#m
To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
Bm G
Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here
D F#m Bm
You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
G
You want to change the world
D F#m
You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
Bm G
But that was looking backward Now you've found the light
E D Bm E
You, the child that once loved The child before they broke his heart
D Bm E
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
E D Bm E
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child
E D Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction
E
There is no childhood's end
E D Bm E
You are my childhood friend, lead me on
We wish you'll appreciate ...
