Songwriter: 정용화 (Jung Yong Hwa)
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 set me outta my cage
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
What happened inside my soul?
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
I know you’re a part of me
Take a step at a time
‘Cause I gotta believe I’m gonna make the climb
When I gotta be strong
And I have to be brave I know you’re coming along
I know you’re coming along
When people grow up they stop having fun
Instead they live by logic and reason
Emotions taking second place
God get me outta this race
Life in a noisy city takes a toll
No longer laughing from my heart at all
I wonder if I’ll be OK
I don’t fit in the charade
What happened inside my soul?
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
I know you’re a part of me
Take a step at a time
‘Cause I gotta believe
I’m gonna make the climb
When I gotta be strong
And I have to be brave
I know you’re coming along
Reading your story’s like a time machine
I hope the pages never disappear in my heart
And you live forever in me
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 know you’re a part of me
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 know you’re a part of me
Take a step at a time
‘Cause I gotta believe
I’m gonna make the climb
When I gotta be strong
And I have to be brave
I know you’re coming along
I know you’re coming along
And read a book I’d treasure every day
My hero jumped right off the page
You set me outta my cage
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 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 know you’re a part of me

‘Cause I gotta believe I’m gonna make the climb
When I gotta be strong
And I have to be brave I know you’re coming along
