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 |
