When we are younger, we think we’ll find our own key,
We are so sure,
Unconcerned about what life was sending, until we find,
Life throws up bolted doors, and so we don’t dream no more
When we are older, we think we know who we are,
We are so sure,
We are what we want to be, heading the right way
But while we’re living the dreams we made as children,
Begin to fade away, they fade away
Until life throws up, another corner,
One of the like we’ve never seen before
Now we wish, we had a key to the door
But now we’ve been forgetting the dreams we
Made as children, they now fade away, away
Now,
We’ve painted ourselves a different picture, we
Only get what we are settling for, you see
The dreams we had as children fade away
Never found the key to the door,
And like our dreams dreamt in childish days
We fade away, they fade away, we fade away
