Fire in his yearning eyes

A skip in his step, it seems

Dreams so big, he gazes on

Can't contain this elation

The whole world's his playground

Always on the move

So full of hope and mystery

With so much to prove

And now he's seen it

He has taken the world for what it is

Yet his fire still burns inside

At a different height

Now some years have passed him by

The skin grows calloused as he's tried and tried

His fire tamed by reality

But not enough to forgo his dream

The whole world's his battlefield

Each day's a fight

Smaller still than what rages on in his mind

And now he's seen it

He has taken the world for what it is

Yet his fire still burns inside

At a different height

And his fire still burns inside

And his fire still burns inside at a different height

Longing for those yesteryears

When all hope had outnumbered fears

Before the world he had called his own

Turned tail and split, and left him alone

Now he sees as he's come of age

With all he knows he won't be the same

Naiveté gone with innocence

Still he tries to find his own way

Now he sees as he's come of age

With all he knows he won't be the same

Naiveté gone with innocence

Still he tries to find his way
