A Child Again

Lyrics by Naome Bradshaw, Music by Naome Bradshaw and Guy Walker

​

Living life without a care, playing truth or double dare

Looking back on yesterday, I remember how to play

Yelling, catch me if you can, think there is a boogeyman

I'll believe in Tinker Bell and have lemonade to sell

​

Ooh, I believe, I believe. Ooh, I believe

I wanna be a child again, have an imaginary friend

I wanna be a child again, why oh why can't I

I wanna be a child again, you can too, just take my hand

 

I wanna be a child again, why oh why can't I

We will run everywhere we go, live on Kool-Aid and Cheerios

Build a fort up in the trees, send a wave for sea monkeys

Saturday we'll watch cartoons and dream of walking on the moon

 

We'll forget to wear our shoes, wonder why the sky is blue

Ooh, ooh

I wanna be a child again, have an imaginary friend

If I could be a child again, I would fly

 

I wanna be a child again, you can too, just take my hand

I wanna be a child again, why oh why can't I

I believe I can fly beyond that rainbow, but I always seem to come crashing down But beyond the stars, there's a place where I can be a child again, and I can fly

​

I wanna be a child again, have an imaginary friend I wanna be a child again,

why oh why can't I

I wanna be a child again, you can too, just take my hand

If I could be a child again, I will fly

I wanna be a child again, have an imaginary friend

I wanna be a child again, why oh why can't I

I wanna be a child again, you can too, just take my hand

I wanna be a child again, why oh why can't I Ooh
