Once upon a time, I was simply small
Once upon a time, I only dreamed of being tall
As a child I saw, as a child I grew
As a child the world was made of only what I knew
I believed in right
I believed in wrong
I believed that beauty could be found in every song
But there came a time
There came the fall
When I learned that black and white just don’t cover all
Fill my heart with wonder
Like when I was younger
Unleash in me a childlike curiosity
Set my soul on fire
Fueled by pure desire
Like when I was younger
Fill my heart with wonder
Everything was pure, everything was bright
Everything was innocent and perfectly alright
My childish heart was sure, my childish heart beat with might
And only monsters under beds could keep me up at night
I’d gaze around my room
Lit up by the moon
Never understanding that this time would be gone soon
If I would have known
I’d never wish to grow
I would hold onto my rocking throne
So now I say
Fill my heart with wonder
Like when I was younger
Unleash in me a childish curiosity
Set my soul on fire
Fueled by pure desire
Like when I was younger
Fill my heart with wonder
Maturity changes perspectives
Reality changes objectives
The sweetest dream can melt just like the snow
Our lives become reflective
Of a world that’s so defective
Now I’m wishing to erase all this pain I know
But once upon a time, I was simply small
Once upon a time, I knew that love could find us all
Fill my heart with wonder
Like when I was younger
Unleash in me a childlike curiosity
Set my soul on fire
Fueled by pure desire
Like when I was younger
Fill my heart with wonder
