A little child with larger eyes making faces from the clouds above
So simple in so many different ways
Mom and dad would fix his hair before he went outside to play
The tightest grip on every word they say
(Refrain)
One day I will come for you so you won't be alone
One day I will come for you
One day I will come for you so you won't be alone
One day I will come for you
Walking home from school one day, he jumps the cracks, the backs he
Saves
Will always take the time to understand the way he wears his clothes
The crazy things he thinks he knows
The astronaut, the football star
All his muddy friends
(Refrain)
Now his eyes have changed
So long to this little one
And all the things that little ones will do
Older now, my friends all gone, I never thought I'd ever end up
Missing all the times we used to share
Suffering is not discerned, neither has love been learned
Can you take me back to younger days?
(Refrain)
