Innocence

I remember a time when my frail virgin mind
Watched the crimson sunrise, imagined what it might find.
Innocence caressed me. I never felt so young before.
There was so much life to see behind each and every door.

When did I fall from grace? I never realized,
how deep the flood was around me.
Why does it seem that now the magic's worn thin?

My life is now a mystery.
Where did I come from? Where have I been?
My past is uncertain and covered up grim.
Where, I ask, did it all go wrong?
Why can't I sing a warmer song?

I know now who I am. The more I search for my soul,
the more I find myself descending deeper into my coldest
Obscurities. Somebody please show me where to go from here.

Coming back to life
Seize the day. I heard him say
Life should not always be this way
look around, near the sounds
Cherish your life while you're still around.

Here I stand at the crossroad's edge
afraid to reach out for my sanity
I think I finally understand
There is so much more I can be

I keep looking back at someone else
ME !
