When I was younger I would run away
And read a book I'd treasure every day
My hero jumped right off the page
You shined a light on all that I could do
Gentle but stronger, laughing, crying too
Never afraid to show yourself You brought me outta my shell
When did I start to give it up?
Now that I'm older I feel a hole
I'm goin' back I wanna open up
I open a book and my story to see you again
I know that you're there for me Remember the time
when you gave me the strength to begin
'Cause I gotta believe I'm gonna make the climb
And I have to be brave I know you're coming along
When people grow up they stop having fun
Instead they live by logic and reason
Life in a noisy city takes a toll
No longer laughing from my heart at all
When did I start to give it up?
Now that I'm older I feel a hole
I'm goin' back I wanna open up
I open a book and my story to see you again
I know that you're there for me
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
Reading your story's like a time machine
I hope the pages never disappear in my heart
I open a book and my story to see you again
I know that you're there for me
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
I open a book and my story to see you again
I know that you're there for me
Remember the time when you gave me the strength to begin
