Couplet 1

I was a dreamer as a little kid
Never a worry in the moment
Smile on my face when I would run and hide
Waiting for dad to come and find me
Those were the good old days

Couplet 2

I lost the wonder as I grew up
Watching the years as they slipped away
But I held on to that hiding place
Waiting for You to come and take me
Back to the good old days

Refrain

Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning
Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning

Couplet 3

I was the one
Who tried to get away
You were the one
Who came to find me
You knew exactly
Where I’d run and hide
There You were waiting just to take me
Back to the good old days

Refrain

Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning
Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning

Pont 1

To that Eden place
Where I bloom again
Where old dreams embrace
New beginnings
Here for all my days
In Your presence
You and I embrace
New beginnings

Refrain

Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning
Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning

Pont 2

Back when I was a Child
And You came to see me
And You came to hold me
You came to show me
Back when I was a Child
You came to give me love
You came to give me peace and joy
Back when I was a child
When I never knew who You are
You called my name Jesus
You called my name Lord

Refrain modifié

Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child
Back when I was a child

Refrain

Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning
Won't You take me back
Back to the beginning
