[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
|
