Lyrics

when i was a young boy
i could hear the animals talk
they'd tell me their names and
they'd ask me for food and
we'd play all day in the yard

they said to me
when you grow up
you won't hear me anymore

i've tried to be
more like that little boy
i knew before

when i was a young boy
i could hear voices out of the air
they told me be safe
they told me be calm
but i couldn't hear what words they used

they said to me
when you grow up
you won't need us anymore

i've tried to be
more like that little boy
i knew before

something so ordinary
with something so magical
only seems to happen
to a boy

everything
holds a sense of wonder
and the years
steal it all away
