[Verse 1]
I can remember when I was a child
That my bed was a ship that I sailed through the night
And I remember the world as a place
That was eager and loving and shiny and bright

[Bridge]
There go a pair who have just built a city of mud
And it's real
They know that mud doesn't look very pretty
But oh, how it feels

[Verse 2]
Here comes a boy who's an Indian brave
He's got a map that will lead to a cave filled up with treasure
What little girl makes a new funny face laughing with pleasure
All of them children, and all are mysterious pеople

[Bridge]
Where is thе girl who made friends with a rainbow
And once rode upon?
Where is that shy and mysterious person
Oh, where have I gone?

[Verse 3]
I can remember I once said my prayers
Now, I stand by while the children say theirs watching them kneeling
And I could cry that one day they'll forget all that they're feeling
Isn't it sad that our children should grow into people?
[Outro]
Isn't it sad that our children should grow into people?
