Mark Kelly - Childhood's End? lyrics

And it was morning And I found myself mourning For a childhood that I thought had disappeared I looked out the window And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain had gone I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror I saw you, the child, that once loved The child before they broke his heart Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost Hey you, surprised? More than surprised To find the answers to the questions Were always in your own eyes Do you realise that you give it on back to her? But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew So untrue For she's got to carry on with her life And you've got to carry on with yours So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction There is no childhood's end You are my childhood friend, lead me on Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory You want to change the world You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel But that was looking backward Now you've found the light You, the child that once loved The child before they broke his heart Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost So it's me I see, I can do anything I'm still the child 'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction There is no childhood's end I am your childhood friend, lead me on
