Childhood's End

Dear to me
From misty eyes i see
A passage back to times when life was pure

Childhood seems
A magic room of dreams
And every thought embraced and life secure

A moment's joy
Is all that i have known
And all that i can give to you today

Smile my friend
This song is not the end
But only just a sign post on the way

Something happened to us on the way
To claiming our pot of gold
Still waiting for our story to unfold

Maybe i have seen the past in a way
That makes it a trusted friend
Maybe we're a story never told
And this our childhood's end

We were true
Divisions overdue
The world was only what we chose to see

Breathe a sigh
For only you and i
Could ever catch a glimpse of what we'd be

Though it seems that we had just begun
And never found our way
The path is there in everything i say

Maybe i have seen the past in a way
That makes it a trusted friend
Maybe we're a story never told
And this our childhood's end
