As a child
Each day seemed to last forever
All the answers
To mysteries were mine to uncover

As a child I was entertained by simple pleasures
All the questions
Were ways to find the earlen treasures

As a child
Sheltered by my innocence
I was searching
For ways to climb the highest fences

The days go by
Where did the time go

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine

As a young man
My life's gone through so many changes
All the dragons
I thought I'd slain became my frustrations

As a young man
I've come to meet my childhood's end
All the answers
Have since convinced me,
I should stop pretending

As a young man
Finally I've realized
I've been dreaming
Living with my past disguises
Where did the time go

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine

Goodbye once upon a time
No more thinking I'm past my prime
Goodbye once upon a time
No more living in the past
What's mine is mine
