Lost Innocence lyrics

[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
