Innocence

By Dream Theater
I remember a time
My frail, virgin mind
watched the crimson sunrise
Imagined what it might find

Life was filled with wonder
I felt the warm wind blow
I must explore the boundaries
Transcend the depth of winter’s snow

Innocence caressing me
I never felt so young before
There was so much life in me
Still I longed to search for more

But those days are gone now
Changed like a leaf on a tree

Blown away forever
into the cool autumn breeze
The snow has now fallen
and my sun’s not so bright
I struggle to hold on
with the last of my might

In my den of inequity
viciousness and subtlety
struggle to ease the pain
struggle to find the sane

Ignorance surrounding me
I’ve never been so filled with fear
All my life’s been drained from me
The end is drawing near….

Come with me sweet innocence
I want to show you sights you’ve never seen,
Keep your eyes wide on this short ride
We’ll really see what you can be
