Track 2

Remember your neighborhood in the late afternoon sun

Your body small, mind1)innocent

Every image a wonder,2)visages of beautiful3)naivety

The earth was a different place

All you owned were a box full of toys and a smile on your face

Love wasn’t your4)hunt and5)conquest

Adventure could only6)quench that thirst

Wonderful, everything was

Freedom in childhood

犹记得你那斜阳下的邻舍

你那小小的身躯，纯真的心灵

每一个画面都令人惊叹，每一个神情都美丽烂漫

这个地方不一般

你所拥有的就是一大盒的玩具，还有脸蛋上的微笑

爱并非你的猎物或俘虏

冒险也只是浇灭你的渴望

美好的，是当时的一切

自由的童年
