Back

We all knew the day was coming
When we had to grow up
Discovering the wide world on our own
Breaking free from past restrictions
Being faced with new afflictions
And finding that alone we're not strong enough

I wanna go back to that place
Of my childhood days
Dancing with my bare feet in the dust
Twirling round, heart carefree
Sun and blue skies over me
Where the love was sure
And my friends were near
I wanna go back

There were days I'd come home crying
And my mom would hold me close
And each time she would wipe the pain away
And I knew that I was treasured
And my confidence secure
that I could get always get back up from the floor

I wanna go back to that place
Of my childhood days
Dancing with my bare feet in the dust
Twirling round, heart carefree
Sun and blue skies over me
Where the love was sure
And my friends were near
I wanna go back

But even now when I am weary
and my burden's dragged around
When I have no clue what my next step will be
There's a hope I have inside me
Someone who will get me through
And a peace that passes understanding

You take me back to that place
Of my childhood days
You make me dance with my bare feet in the dust
Twirling round, heart carefree
Sun and blue skies over me
And Your love is sure
And Your arms are near
I know what I’m living for

You take me back to that place
Of my childhood days
You make me dance with my bare feet in the dust
Twirling round, heart carefree
Sun and blue skies over me
And Your love is sure
And Your arms are near
You take me back
You take me back
