[Vers 1]
I grew up in those corners of Denmark
That people'd really rather move out of
But everything was okay anyway
Even though our finances were tight
I would wander aimlessly around
In the streets where we lived
And the nightingale would sing me home
To were my bed was
[Chorus]
Let me be child again
I want to be child again
Let med be child again
[Verse 2]
The garden of the villas smelled
Like freshly mowed grass in August
In the heavy, still air
Of the summer rain
I dreamed about becoming
Something big some day
And here I am
Dreaming myself back
[Chorus]
Let me be child again
I want to be child again
[Bridge]
With the fragrance of asphalt
A ball on the luggage rack of the bicycle
Towards the horizon
And the sky was blue
And life was happiness
With the sun in my eyes
Let me child again
[Verse 3]
What more can you really say
When everything is said?
I'll remember you for ever
And all of what we had
Suddenly you were gone
Where did you go?
You should have been there
On the day I got back home
[Chorus]
Let me be child again
I want to be child again
[Bridge]
With the fragrance of asphalt
A ball on the bike rack
Towards the horizon
And the sky was blue
And life was happiness
With the sun in my eyes
[Chorus]
Let me be child again
Yes, I want to be child again
