  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 realise 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 i'm still the child
  'cos the only thing misplaced was direction
  and i found direction
  there is no childhood's end
  you are my childhood friend, lead me on
  
  hey you, you've survived. now you've arrived
  to be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
  
  now you realise, 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
  our heart, the heart that i believed was lost
  
  so it's me i see, i can do anything.
  i'm still the child
  'cos the only thing misplaced was direction
  and i found direction
  there is no childhood's end
  i am your childhood friend, lead me on
