Lyrics Maggie Reilly

Maggie Reilly

Goin' Back

I think I'm goin' back

To the things I learned so well in my youth

I think I'm returning to

Those days when I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games to only pass the time

No more colouring books, no Christmas bells to chime

But thinking young and growing older, that's no sin

And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall the time

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend

And now I think I've got

A lot more than my skipping rope to lend

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide

And every day can be a magic carpet ride

And I can play hide-and-seek with my fears

And live my days instead of counting my years

So let everyone debate the true reality

I'd like to see the world the way that it used to be

A little bit of courage, that's all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

A little bit of freedom is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

I think I'm goin' back...
