A hundred times you've lost the way
And faced the world alone
A hundred miles since you've been running
A hundred miles out on your own
The light of day is fading
The darkness leaves you blind
It's breaking your resistance
And giving you a sign
The past becomes the future
You'll find no place to hide
Maybe now you'll see the answer
Found deeper down inside
All the things you are, and all the things you'll ever be
It's a wonder, when the child within you is set free
All the things you are
Becomes the things you can't prevent
Left to wonder where the child within you ever went
No moment slips away
No laughter, no tears
Frozen in the present, lost in all the years
Faces from the past remind you
Even after all those memories
Sad goodbyes are all forgotten
Facing now your destiny
Now you're counting on the future
You've left the past behind
You're scanning the horizon
As the hands of time unwind
All the things you are, and all the things you'll ever be
It's a wonder, when the child within you is set free
All the things you are
Becomes the things you can't prevent
Left to wonder where the child within you ever went
(All the things you are, and all the things you'll ever be)
(It's a wonder, when the child within you is set free)
(All the things you are)
(Becomes the things you can't prevent)
(Left to wonder where the child within you ever went)
The final hour before you
You face your Little Prince
And in his eyes you recognize
The face you see through colored lens
A hero's greatest task, to search himself, and then
To fight a thousand battles
And find his little child
Within
