As a child
   Each day seemed to last forever
   All the answers
   To mysteries were mine to uncover
   As a child
   I was entertained by simple pleasures
   All the questions
   Were ways to find the hidden treasures
   As a child
   Sheltered by my innocence
   I was searching
   For ways to climb the highest fences
   The days go by
   Where did the time go
   [Chorus]
   Goodbye once upon a time
   No more thinking I'm past my prime
   Goodbye once upon a time
   No more living in the past
   What's mine is mine
   As a young man
   My life's gone through so many changes
   All the dragons
   I thought I'd slain became my frustrations
   As a young man
   I've come to meet my childhood's end
   All the answers
   Have since convinced me, I should stop pretending
   As a young man
   Finally I've realized
   I've been dreaming
   Living with my past disguises
   Where did the time go
   [Repeat Chorus]
   [Repeat Chorus]
