Verse 1
I remember days of laughter and play
Chasing dreams, in a world of disarray
I was a superhero, with powers so grand
Saving the world, with a wave of my hand
Pre-chorus
But now I'm grown, with worries and fears
The magic's gone, and the dreams disappear
I wish I were a child again
With a heart full of wonder, and a soul that can pretend
Chorus
I wish I were a child again
With the world at my feet, and the sun on my skin
I'd run and I'd play, and I'd dream all day
I wish I were a child again, with a heart full of joy and play
Verse 2
I'd build with blocks, and I'd draw with crayons
I'd create a world, where anything was possible, and the fun never faded
I'd be a pirate, or a spaceman too
With a imagination, that knew no bounds, and a heart that was true
Pre-Chorus
But now I'm grown, with responsibilities and stress
The world's a different place, and the magic's repressed
I wish I were a child again
With a heart full of wonder, and a soul that can pretend
Chorus
I wish I were a child again
With the world at my feet, and the sun on my skin
I'd run and I'd play, and I'd dream all day
I wish I were a child again, with a heart full of joy and play
Bridge
Maybe someday, I'll find my way back
To the wonder, and the magic, of a child's heart
And I'll remember, the dreams I used to chase
And I'll smile, knowing that the magic never fades
Chorus
I wish I were a child again
With the world at my feet, and the sun on my skin
I'd run and I'd play, and I'd dream all day
I wish I were a child again, with a heart full of joy and play.
