Childhood Dreams

(Erasmus)
 Late in summer
 Staring out the window
 Only seven
 Tell me what could she know
 The world would never understand
 But they don't see what she still can
 What does she see
 What does she know
 And must she ever just let go
 As childhood dreams
 Childhood dreams
 What is childhood
 Something we remember
 Rarely
 Barely
 Sometimes in decembers
 But then it's known to catch our eye
 And dare us all to
 Once more try
 And with a childhood faith believe
 And that magic to retrieve
 As childhood dreams
 Childhood dreams

 Dreams
 Softly
 Fading
 Tell me where the years go
 I am aging
 But she does not think so
 Her world of possibilities
 As far as childhood
 Eyes can see
 And must one day
 She just decide
 To step off of this
 Childhood ride
 As childhood dreams
 Childhood dreams
 Only seven as she
 Sits and wonders
 Late at night as
 The world it slumbers
 But suddenly inside the dark
 She sees the magic
 Of the sparks
 And so she knows
 She must go down
 To see this world
 That she has found
 As childhood dreams
 Childhood dreams
