And it was morning   And I found myself   Mourning for a childhood   That I thought had disappeared      I looked out the window   And I saw a magpie in the rainbow   The rain had gone I'm not alone   I turned to the mirror      I saw you, the child that once loved   The child before they broke his heart   Our heart, the heart   That I believed was lost      Hey you, surprised?   More than surprised   To find the answers to the questions   Were always in your own eyes      Do you realize   That you give it on back to her?   But that would only be retraced   In all the problems that you ever knew, so untrue      For she's got to carry on   With her life   And you've got to carry on   With yours      So I see it's me, I can do anything   I'm still the child 'cos the only thing   Misplaced was direction and I found direction   There is no childhood's end      There is no childhood's end   'Cos you are my childhood friend   'Cos you are my childhood friend   Oh, lead me on      Hey you, you've survived   Now you've arrived   To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie   Now you realize that you've got to get out of here      You've found the leading light of destiny   Burning in the ashes of your memory   You wanna change the world      You'd resigned yourself   To die a broken rebel   But that was looking backward   Now you've found the light      You, the child that once loved   The child before they broke his heart   Our heart, the heart   That I believed was lost      So it's me I see, I can do anything   I'm still the child   'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction   And I found direction      There is no childhood's end   There is no childhood's end   There is no childhood's end   I am your childhood friend   Oh, lead me on
