Our spirits are trapped in the essence of childhood.
Would we ever go back, if we could?
It's not the wind that's moving those swings,
It's the younger part of us, I believe.

All of our childhoods are trapped in the park,
Running and playing invisibly, until it grows dark,
We sing and we laugh with no responsibility,
We all once had that ability.
But now we look at that park and sigh,
And think 'I wish I could go back, just one more time'

You were waiting your turn to cross the monkey bars,
Now you're waiting your turn to cross the intersection, in your new car.
You were sliding down the slide with your hands in the air, now
You're sliding into a job, trying to care.

Your childhood, however, is not lost
You're still running around, with out a cost.
The kid in us is running around, playing, at the park across the street,
While you're looking at the park, sipping a drink.
You don't see any children there, you see the swings move forth and back.

Just remember it's you over there on one of the swings, moving it forth and back.
Our spirits are trapped in the essence of childhood…
It's not the wind that's moving those swings…
It's all of us, playing gracefully.
We're trapped in the park.

there are 2 ways of spreading light: to be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it. -unknown

This is probably true.  None of us ever entirely lose the child in us.  Joyce
