Foolish Youth

Oh! Who could go back and fix the mistakes of the past.
Who could go back and take the right road…
If we only learned to see right from wrong
Instead of pain we would have joy
Youth foolish youth 
In our minds we thought we knew every answer.
With our eyes we saw the good ways…
Yet refused to take them.
Youth foolish youth 
How much pain we’ve caused 
Rivers of tears from the ones we love
Youth foolish youth 
Now in this lonely place paying a price for my mistakes.
I regret using my youth 
In such foolish way...
