When I was a child, my life seemed endless, too far to see
When I was a child, the world was waiting and called to me
And everyone I loved would live for eternity
And everything I dreamed would all come true for me

But now I feel the end come
My childish dreams are undone
I cry under a black sun
And every song is unsung

You will hear me when the wind sighs
Oh, you will feel me beside you always
Oh, you won't see me, but I’ll be with you

When I was a child, all love was painless, no tears to cry
When I was a child, I played the hero who held the sky
But now I hold you and love is more than I can bear
And when I think of you, love becomes a pain to share

But I hear loss calling
And this is pain talking
And I am fear walking
And these are tears falling

You will hear me when the wind sighs
Oh, you will feel me beside you always
Oh, you won't see me, but I'll be with you
