Revelation - Lost Innocence Lyrics
[Words: John Brenner]How many years ago, I dreamed of simple goalsBut life's so complicated nowA child at heart, a man in soulI still dream the same dreamsNot too long ago - you were young, pure as snowUntouched by life's pressuresNot more lovely than full of lifeAnd of the hopes of the futureHow many people do you knowWho've grown up overnightThrust into competing for no prizeNo gold at the end of the rainbowBecause anti-septic truths and unimportant viewsHave dimmed the true meaning of youthI wish I could save you from my fateAnd preserve your innocence foreverIgnorance to knowledgeAdolescent to matureovernightDreams to realityYouth to old ageall too soonWhy can't I save youfrom the pain of growing up,the pressures of your peersWhy can't I help youfight the evils of the worldthe sins of casual pleasure
