There was a time when we light fires in the woods
and just let our troubles go up in the smoke
we'd run through fields

trample down the fresh new crops
like a UFO on a mission that won't stop


So take me back to those days
the days we had the world at our feet
for a short while


As the years pass by I wonder if we'll ever regain
the freedom of our misspent youth

oh if only we could
but every now and then I can resuscitate the past
just to keep it alive

and keep me alive

So take me back to those days

the days we had the world at our feet
for a short while


It's just a gamble what the future holds
your dice could roll on a one
the chance is over and done of ever winning the gold

we're travelling through our lives at light speed
with no way of slowing down the velocity


So take me back to those days
the days we had the world at our feet
for a short while
