Lost Innocence

歌詞

(Words: John Brenner) How many years ago, I dreamed of simple goals But life's so complicated now A child at heart, a man in soul I still dream the same dreams Not too long ago - you were young, pure as snow Untouched by life's pressures Not more lovely than full of life And of the hopes of the future How many people do you know Who've grown up overnight Thrust into competing for no prize No gold at the end of the rainbow Because anti-septic truths and unimportant views Have dimmed the true meaning of youth I wish I could save you from my fate And preserve your innocence forever Ignorance to knowledge Adolescent to mature overnight Dreams to reality Youth to old age all too soon Why can't I save you from the pain of growing up, the pressures of your peers Why can't I help you fight the evils of the world the sins of casual pleasure
