As we grow with the passing of time
Life becomes more serious with less fun,
Life's pressures lay heavy upon us
And with the passing of time
Less able we become.

We must re-awaken the child within
In our heart the child lives on,
A jewel that sparkles and glistens
We see again through a child's eyes
We remember wonders and magic long gone.

Life was meant to be a wonderful journey
But as adults we have many illusory fears,
When we awaken the child within
Our burdens become much lighter
And we become younger than our years.

Awaken the child within
Life becomes an adventure once more,
Look in wonder at the birds in the sky
Listen to the voice of Mother Nature
And you will feel your spirit soar.

In our heart we are forever young
And until we die we always will be,
Although the years have taken their toll
When we awaken the child within
From life's chains we will be free.
