Story Behind The Song
Basically what I am saying is that we
all get so caught up in our day to day lives and get to serious about certain things. Its o.k. to let your hair down and have fun from time to time. Don't worry about what other people think, and let the inner child out.

Lyrics
V1
As I watch the children playing
I remember how I use to be
life was not so complicated
and the only one that mattered was me
V2
Now deep inside within my heart
there lies a special place
somewhere I visit every now and then
that always puts a smile on my face
CHORUS
Today I think I'll be a kid again
go and skim stones by the rivers edge
like I did when I was ten
Today I think I'll be a kid and run wild and free
then go and sit up in the treehouse that my Dad built for me
V3
Now the older I got the more I realised
that I was not the only one
and I started to get so serious about things
that had to be done
V4
But there was something I learned that I will never forget
and that's to make sure you never let go
of the inner child that lies within us all
the one that you will always know
CHORUS
Today I think I'll be a kid again
go and skim stones by the rivers edge
like I did when I was ten
Today I think I'll be a kid and run wild and free
then go and sit up in the treehouse that my Dad built for me
(Instrumental)
CHORUS
Today I think I'll be a kid again
go and skim stones by the rivers edge
like I did when I was ten
Today I think I'll be a kid and run wild and free
then go and sit up in the treehouse that my Dad built for me
