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
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]
