Back to the Innocence
Stand outside a playground
How I love to hear the sound
Ringing hope the children know
How to let the magic out, I'd be there
Through the endless summers
Seemed like life was ours to take
The golden years before the fears
I've seen ghosts of days gone by
Telling me dreams don't die
Like chasing a fly ball in center field
And holding hands at a high school dance
I'm drifting in time and it's taking me
Back to the innocence
Back to the innocence
These days I lose my vision
And I feel my years of age
And through denial, forget my smile
The cruel games I play, I know
The child deep inside me is forever in my heart
And now I pray a chance one day
To have children of my own
Share the blessings I have known
Like chasing a fly ball in center field
And holding hands at a high school dance
I'm hoping the Sand Man is taking me
Back to the innocence
Drifting in time and it's taking me
Back to the innocence
Back to the innocence
How I love to hear the sound
Ringing hope the children know
How to let the magic out, I'd be there
Through the endless summers
Seemed like life was ours to take
The golden years before the fears
I've seen ghosts of days gone by
Telling me dreams don't die
Like chasing a fly ball in center field
And holding hands at a high school dance
I'm drifting in time and it's taking me
Back to the innocence
Back to the innocence
These days I lose my vision
And I feel my years of age
And through denial, forget my smile
The cruel games I play, I know
The child deep inside me is forever in my heart
And now I pray a chance one day
To have children of my own
Share the blessings I have known
Like chasing a fly ball in center field
And holding hands at a high school dance
I'm hoping the Sand Man is taking me
Back to the innocence
Drifting in time and it's taking me
Back to the innocence
Back to the innocence
