I remember when
Time was always spent
Dreaming of tomorrow
The way that it would be
But we all had our hopes
We all made our plans
Somewhere along the way we lost our clarity
And nobody meant to change
We never thought we'd end up this far away
Bring me back to the innocence of You
And bring me back to the first love I ever knew
Back to the way when I was young
I'm tired of the mess that I've become
I want to see the world the way you do
So bring me back to You
Back to You
And as the days go by
I wish I could stop time
Because my little boy and girl
Their eyes are on the world
And what they've yet to learn
And what they've yet to see
Are the very things that jaded me
And left me empty
I never meant to change, no
I never meant to stray so far away
So bring me back to the innocence of You
And bring me back to the first love I ever knew
Back to the way when I was young
I'm tired of the mess that I've become
I want to see the world the way you do
Open my eyes, Lord, and help me to see
The plans that you have for me
And open my heart, fill it up, fill it up
And hold me, Lord, hold me
Bring me back to the innocence of You
And bring me back to the first love I ever knew
Back to the way when I was young
I'm tired of the mess that I've become
I want to see the world the way you do
So bring me back to You
Back to You
I remember when
Our time was always spent
Dreaming of tomorrow
