Lightspeed

There was a time when we light fires in the woods
 And just let our troubles go up in the smoke
 We'd run through fields
 Trample down the fresh new crops
 Like a UFO on a mission that won't stop
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
 As the years pass by I wonder if we'll ever regain
 The freedom of our misspent youth
 Oh if only we could
 But every now and then I can resuscitate the past
 Just to keep it alive
 And keep me alive
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
 It's just a gamble what the future holds
 Your dice could roll on a one
 The chance is over and done of ever winning the gold
 We're travelling through our lives at light speed
 With no way of slowing down the velocity
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
 So take me back to those days
 The days we had the world at our feet
 For a short while
