For Innocence I Cry

I understand
I’m older now
I’ve seen the truth
Get lost somehow

But I remember
How it used to be
When time was endless
When life was free

When years were long
When days were bright
When dark was dark
And light was light

Without the haze
Without the gray
Without the truth
We found a way

And now I sit
And now I cry
For memories lost
For time gone by

For youthfulness
For dignity
For innocence
For purity…

I cry
