Back back now we go to where we all know Everything that once was Will’ve remained just the same They’ll ignore that you’ve grown And the world that you’ve known They’ll call you a child And it will drive you insane But you’ll nod and you’ll smile And think all the while You left them behind And they’re not to blame. All the places you’ve seen Could never have been But for their support of your spirit Your heart, soul, and brain So back back we will roam To our childhood home Where time has stood still And you’ll rejoin their game Pretend to be small That you know nothing at all That you’re an innocent child Quiet and tame.
