[Verse 1]
There used to be a barn here
It towered over me
The wood that held the walls is now a frame beside my bed
No picture in it yet
A boy he used to run here
He rested in the leaves
And when he was just paper, and the wind could sing a song
And I would sing along

[Chorus]
Come on out, all you children
Wake on up, it's time to dream
Callin' out for the young and the reckless
Don't forget who you used to be

[Verse 2]
When you're lookin' to the future
The future's never lookin' back
When you're waiting for tomorrow, it always comes a day too late
So why not just be late?

[Chorus]
Come on out, all you children
Wake on up, it's time to dream
Callin' out for the young and the reckless
Don't forget who you used to be
Who you used to be
