Verse 1 (Childhood):

Sunrise spilling through my window, chasing dreams across the floor

Bare feet running in the meadow, building castles, wanting more

Every day a new adventure, every cloud a dragon’s lair

Life was painted in bright colors, magic floating in the air

Chorus:

Oh, childhood, you were laughter in the rain

Simple joys and shelter from the pain

Growing up, I never understood

How the world could change so much from childhood

Verse 2 (Adulthood):

Now I’m waking with the sunrise, to a list of things to do

Trading fairytales for deadlines, chasing time that slips right through

Bills and worries on my shoulders, dreams tucked in a bottom drawer

But I still catch myself believing, like I did when I was four

Chorus:

Oh, childhood, you were laughter in the rain

Simple joys and shelter from the pain

Growing up, I never understood

How the world could change so much from childhood

Bridge:

But sometimes when the world is quiet, I find that spark inside of me

The child who saw the world with wonder, and believed in everything

Final Chorus:

Oh, childhood, you’re a memory in my heart

A gentle place where every dream could start

Though I’ve grown, I hold you like I should

You remind me how to hope, my childhood
