The innocence of a child

Think back to when you were young
Remember lines in songs that you sung
Movies that you didn't understand
Playtime was your only plan

You looked at everyone the same
Didn't see the world or it's game
The innocence of a child was yours
Before you walked through adulthood's door

Chorus:
The world was new, and so were you
A happier time, everything was fine
Shoulders had no weight, childhood was great
You didn't know, we didn't care, the innocence was there

Now that we're all grown up
Drinkin' from a coffee cup
Bills and pills, our jobs and our kids
Not seeing life as we once did

The simple days are all in the past
Our childhood dreams they didn't last
Life's now about money no longer fun
The innocence now belongs to our sons

Chorus

Bridge:
Those days are oh so fleeting
When your worries are so few
Even though your hearts still beating
It's slower now and no longer new

Solo

Chorus

The simple days are all but gone
For all the young, life goes on
Magical and bright, innocent and new
I can feel it, how bout you....
