Sean McConnell - The Wonder Years lyrics

I was raised in the blaze of a burnin' outu sun Between wars and before the old west had been won That old American story of a boy and a girl Driving with the windows down before the weight of the world In the haze of the days before the buildings fell Yeah, we shined like a coin in a wishing well Flying free as a bird in a bright blue sky Never wondering why we never wondered why But in my dreams I see the queen of Ellis Island She's holding pictures and they start to disappear Standing there I can swear I see her crying Saying goodbye to the wonder years Ain't one thing in this life we can hold onto Everything resurrects into something new Don't shoot the messenger, I didn't build the game I'm like you, I want everything to stay the same But in my dreams I see the queen of Ellis Island She's holding pictures and they start to disappear Standing there I can swear I see her crying Saying goodbye to the wonder years But in my dreams I see the queen of Ellis Island She's holding pictures and they start to disappear Standing there I can swear I see her crying Saying goodbye to the wonder years
