Where’s The Innocence


Where’s the innocence of your youth
My naïve, careless child
One that looked at life with eyes
Full of endless joy

The world hardened your heart
Filling it full of blame
You lash out with angry fists
In hope that the world will change

Time to take a reality check
On this tainted view of life
Broken pieces won’t fix themselves
But they’ll cut you like a knife

Calm the raging storm within
Come to terms with your past
Don’t look back with regret
The memories, they won’t last

You can find your way back home
As if you were never gone
You’ll never be alone in this storm
Love finds a way to forgive
Carries on so we can live
Gives us strength to believe
And brings back innocence

It was no surprise that you
Couldn’t do all the things you wanted to
Life’s choices leave you very few
But one still remains
