I've been a hero A villain too I've conquered worlds But this is past by now I'm not the things I've ever wanted to be I can't be what others would say 'no' And who would ever say That one day I've been so much more Than the people let me be? Time's gone by Grown up, I have The kid's imagination will be no more...? But why should I care About what they think of me? Why leave to no one This great space to act? The grand stage Feeling the magic of childhood again The grand stage Letting that freedom flow Without the pain The grand stage To be the actor playing every role The grand stage To live moving on my soul And who would ever say That one day I've been so much less Than life lets me be? Time's gone by Grown up, I have And still to find in me there is so much more Why should I care About what they think of me? Why leave to no one This great space to act? The grand stage Feeling the magic of childhood again The grand stage Letting that freedom flow Without the pain The grand stage To be the actor playing every role The grand stage To live moving on my soul
