Lyrics
Verse 1
This is my second childhood
Whatever you give me, I will take
This is my second childhood
With you
The burden of the years is forgotten
My heart opens wide
This is my second childhood
And I begin again
Verse 2
Through your eyes, daughter
I see the world anew
Through your hands, I learn
To touch the sea again
Through your lips, daughter
Words find a sweeter taste
And with you, I will grow
Without fear
Chorus
This is my second childhood
Whatever you give me, daughter
This is my second childhood
With you
This is my second childhood
I take it all from you
This is my second childhood
And I stay with you
Verse 3
Through your songs, daughter
I learn to hear creation
In your footsteps, I walk
Toward the seven wonders
In your smile, daughter
A new morning for the nights
And with you, life has meaning
We are already three years old
Verse 4
In your gaze, daughter
I learn to love again
In your tears, I tremble
As if the world is ending
In your arms, daughter
A shiver runs through my body
And with you, I ask
For one more day
Bridge
We are already four years old
We are already five years old
And every passing moment
Makes me younger in your light
Chorus
This is my second childhood
Whatever you give me, I will take
This is my second childhood
With you
This is my second childhood
I take it all from you
This is my second childhood
And I stay with you
Outro
This is my second childhood
My first and truest joy
This is my second childhood
With you
