When I was a child my life seemed endless. Too far to see

When I was a child the world was waiting and called to me

And everyone I loved would live for eternity

And everything I dreamed would all come true for me

But now I feel the end come

My childish dreams are undone

I cry under a black sun

And every song is unsung

You will hear me when the wind sighs

You will feel me beside you always

You won’t see me but I’ll be with you

When I was a child all love was painless. No tears to cry

When I was a child I played the hero who held the sky

But now I hold you and love is more than I can bare

And when I think of you love becomes a pain to share

And I hear loss calling, and this is pain talking

And I am fear walking, and these are tears falling
