Yeah I know too much
I think I know my way around
Too smart to feel a heartbreak now
Too old to let my safe guards down

And where’d the wonder go
Traded magic for a measured hope
Traded dreaming for a worn out road
I'm tired of being in control

In the cosmic light, in the by and by
I wanna see your heart through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice, in the rain and wind
I wanna know it's safe to be a child again

I know that getting hurt is really how redemption works
My ego is a ball and chain, my instincts only make it worse
In the morning light, I don’t want to run from pain
Know I can't afford to cheapen grace
I know that pain just means my souls awake

In the cosmic light, in the by and by
I wanna see your heart through my younger eyes
I wanna hear your voice, in the rain and wind
I wanna know its safe to be a child again

Let my past mean nothing make it powerless
I am free like a river
I am free like a river
You’re my hope unbroken, you’re my innocence
I am free like a river
I’m a child again
