lyrics

I want to catch a comet
With my own bare hands
Then just send it flying
All over again
Be a part of something
I can’t understand

I want to be a child again...
(My father's ten feet tall as strong as superman)
A child again...
(My mother’s tender kiss could mend a broken hand)
When magic was king
And the world was a ball on a string
I knew everything

I want some animation
To set my mind ablaze
I want my older brother
To lead my mind astray
My parachute umbrella
It'll help me land

I want to be a child again...
(My fathers ten feet tall as strong as superman)
A child again...
(My mother’s tender kiss could mend a broken hand)
When magic was king
And the world was a ball on a string
I knew everything

I knew everything
