Going Back by Phil Collins

I think I'm going back
To the thing I learned so well
In my youth

I think I'm returning to
All those days when I was young enough
To know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
Thinking young
And growing older
Is no sin

And I can play the game of life to win

(Oh) I can recall the time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out
To a friend

And now I think I've got
A lot more than
Just my toys to lend

Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
And everyday can be
My magic paradise
And I can play
Hide and seek with my fears

And live my days
Instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate
The true reality
I'd rather see my world
The way it used to be
A little bit of courage
Is all we lack
So catch me if you can
'Cause I'm going back

I'm going back
Not just sitting
Walking away
Yes, I'm going back

Going back to my youth
Come on, catch me 'cause I'm going back
I'm going back
