Red Hand Pointing Right
Forward To Next Song

by Gerry Goffin and Carole King 
                                                      
                                                      I think I'm going back 
                                                      To the things I learnt so well in my youth 
                                                      I think I'm returning to 
                                                      Those days when I was young enough to know the truth 
                                                      Now there are no games 
                                                      To only pass the time 
                                                      No more colouring books 
                                                      No Christmas bells to chime 
                                                      But thinking young and growing older is no sin 
                                                      And I can't play the game of life to win 
                                                      I can recall a time 
                                                      When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend 
                                                      And now I think I've got 
                                                      A lot more than just my toys to lend 
                                                      Now there's more to do 
                                                      Than watch my sailboat glide 
                                                      And every day can be 
                                                      My magic carpet ride 
                                                      And I can play hide and seek with my fears 
                                                      And live my days instead of counting my years 
                                                      Then everyone debates 
                                                      The true reality 
                                                      I'd rather see the world 
                                                      The way it used to be 
                                                      A little bit of freedom's all we lack 
                                                      So catch me if you can 
                                                      I'm going back
