| When I was younger, I would run away
|
| And read a book I’d treasure everyday
|
| My hero jumped right off the page
|
| You set me out of my cage
|
| You shined a light on all that I could do
|
| Gentle but stronger, laughing, crying too
|
| Never afraid to show yourself
|
| You brought me out of my shell
|
| What happened inside my soul?
|
| When did I start to give it up?
|
| Now that I’m older I feel a hole
|
| I’m going back, I want to open up
|
| I open a book and my story to see you again
|
| I know that you’re there for me
|
| Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
|
| I know you’re a part of me
|
| Take a step at a time
|
| Because I got to believe I’m going to make the climb
|
| When I got to be strong
|
| And I have to be brave I know you’re coming along
|
| I know you’re coming along
|
| When people grow up they stop having fun
|
| Instead they live by logic and reason
|
| Emotions taking second place
|
| God, get me out of this race
|
| Life in a noisy city takes a toll
|
| No longer laughing from my heart at all
|
| I wonder if I’ll be okay
|
| I don’t fit in the charade
|
| What happened inside my soul?
|
| When did I start to give it up?
|
| Now that I’m older I feel a hole
|
| I’m going back, I want to open up
|
| I open a book and my story to see you again
|
| I know that you’re there for me
|
| Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
|
| I know you’re a part of me
|
| Take a step at a time
|
| Because I got to believe I’m going to make the climb
|
| When I got to be strong
|
| And I have to be brave I know you’re coming along
|
| Reading your story’s like a time machine
|
| I hope the pages never disappear in my heart
|
| And you live forever in me
|
| I open a book and my story to see you again
|
| I know that you’re there for me
|
| Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
|
| I know you’re a part of me
|
| I open a book and my story to see you again
|
| I know that you’re there for me
|
| Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
|
| I know you’re a part of me
|
| Take a step at a time
|
| Because I got to believe I’m going to make the climb
|
| When I got to be strong
|
| And I have to be brave, I know you’re coming along
|
| I know you’re coming along |
