You were young, just a child Imagination running wild There was nothing but the glow Of fireflies and chasing rainbows Wonder where that child went Vanished with your innocence He grew up and he was told He better stop daydreaming There's no sunshine in your face There's no blue sky in your brain You just lay in bed all day Watching the world twist away That child is still alive In that crescent of your mind Don't be afraid, you don't have to hide Just put your little hand in mine 'Cause tonight we're gonna fly Like birds of paradise Remember when you were green And you touched eternity Seems like only yesterday All you ever did was play Now you walk the ruined road You don't let your garden grow You let it lay there paralyzed You give it only poison No more sunshine in your face No more blue sky in your brain You just lay in bed all day Watching the world twist away That child is still alive In that crescent of your mind Don't be afraid, you don't have to hide Just put your little hand in mine 'Cause tonight we're gonna fly Like birds of paradise ♪ There's no sunshine in your face There's no blue sky in your brain You just lay in bed all day Watching the world twist away That child is still alive In that crescent of your mind Don't be afraid, you don't have to hide Tonight we're gonna fly Yeah, tonight we're gonna fly Like birds of paradise Yeah it's your mind... Show yourself and come outside Put your little hand in mine Yeah, tonight we're gonna fly Like birds of paradise
