Song Lyrics

And it was morning.
And I found myself mourning,
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared.
I looked

Out the window,
And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, the rain
Had gone
I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror,

I saw you, the child, that once loved.
The child before they
Broke his heart,
Our heart, the heart that I believed was

Lost.
Hey you, surprised? More than surprised,
To find the answers to the questions,
Were always in your

Own eyes.
Do you realize that you give it on back to her?
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew,
So untrue.

For she's got to carry on with her life,
And you've got to carry on with yours.
So I see it's me, I can
Do anything

And still the child,
'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction
And I found
Direction.

There is no Childhood's End.
There is no Childhood's End.
'Cause you are my childhood
Friend.

'Cause' you are my childhood friend.
Oh lead me on.
Hey you, you've survived.
Now you've arrived,

To be reborn in the shadow of the
Magpie.
Now you realize, that you've got to get out of
Here.

You've found the leading light of destiny,
Burning in the ashes of your memory.
You want to change
The world.

You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel,
But that was looking backward.
Now you've found the
Light.

You, the child that once loved,
The child before they broke his heart.
The heart, the heart
That I believed was lost

So it's me I see, I can do
Anything.
I'm still the child.
'Cause the

Only thing misplaced was direction, and I found direction.
There is no childhood's end.
There is no childhood's
End.

There is no childhood's end.
I am your childhood friend.
Oh, lead me on.
