A hundred times you've lost away And faced the world alone A hundred miles since you've been running A hundred miles out on your own The light of day is fading The darkness leaves you blind It's breaking your resistance And giving you a sign The past becomes the future You'll find no place to hide Maybe now you'll see the answer Far deep and down inside All the things you are And all the things you'll ever be It's a wonder When the child within you is set free All the things you are Becomes the things you can't prevent Left you wonder Where the child within you ever went No moments sleeps away No laughter no tears Frozen in the present Lasting all the years Faces from the past reminds you Even after all those memories Said goodbye's are all forgotten Facing now your destiny Now you're counting on the future You've left the past behind You're scanning the horizon As the hands of time and wind All the things you are And all the things you'll ever be It's a wonder When the child within you is set free All the things you are Becomes the things you can't prevent Left you wonder Where the child within you ever went (Chorus) All the things you are And all the things you'll ever be It's a wonder When the child within you is set free All the things you are Become the things you can't prevent Left you wonder Where the child within you ever went The final hour before you You face your little prince And in his eyes you recognize The face you see through coloured lands A hero's greatest task To searching self and then To fight a thousand battles And find his little child Within
