[Intro]
[Atmospheric pads, distant laughter of children playing, fading in]
The sun was gold...
The grass was high...
We didn't know...
How fast it flies.
[Verse 1]
Scraped knees and summer breeze,
A world of giants, climbing trees.
No ticking clocks, no heavy heart,
Before the world tore us apart.
I close my eyes to see the light,
Of fireflies in the middle of the night.
[Build-up]
It’s fading now...
It’s calling me...
Back to the place...
Where I was free.
[Kick drum starts building, faster and faster]
I want to go back.
I want to go back.
Take me back!
[Chorus / Drop]
Take me back to being a child again!
Where the dreams would never end!
No more shadows, no more fear,
I wish that yesterday was here!
(Euphoric Synth Lead - The Drop)
[Melodic, high-energy instrumental section]
[Bridge]
[Music strips back to a simple piano or soft pluck]
Small hands, big world.
Everything was possible.
Now I’m running,
Always running,
But I can’t catch the wind anymore.
[Outro]
Just for a second...
Let me stay.
In the fields...
Of yesterday.
[Echoing]
Yesterday...
Yesterday...
[Fade out with the sound of a distant playground]
