This feeling in my heart- so strange,
I'm feeling like a child; I'm going back, I'm going back,
Something in the air is calling, my senses sprawling,
 ­ Sitting upstairs on the bus, faded signs surrounding us,
Feel the recognition grow, traffic lights I used to know...

Here I am, feeling like a child,
So alive and wild,
Gwlad fy mam, cartref i mi...

My heart begins to shine (shine),
I'm feeling like a child; I'm going back, I'm going back,
Now I know the time is right, ­ hiraeth the guiding light,
Imaginary telegram, - remind me who I am;
 ­ Greeting familiar streets, comforting as cotton sheets...

Here I am, feeling like a child,
Gwlad fy mam, cartref i mi...

A feeling set apart, estranged;
I'm feeling like a child; I'm going back, I'm going back,
Somehow doesn't feel the same, as I return again,
Corner shop is closing down, memory of a smaller town,
Distant mountains still sublime, shopping centre bides its time...

Here I am, feeling like a child,
So alive and wild,
Gwlad fy mam, cartref i mi...

A lightness in my head;
I'm feeling like a child; I'm going back, I'm going back,
 ­ There's still the feeling here, reservations disappear,
 ­ I'm breathing easy now, setting sun can show me how,
Chip shop neon danger signs, old steel works and silent mines...

Here I am, feeling like a child,
Gwlad fy mam, cartref i mi...
