Will the Innocoence Return
I know you’re hurt
But please don’t cry
I’m here for you
We can get through
This fiery raging land
Is filled with hate
But you and I
Are not too late
To save it from annihilation
The hate we will cause obliteration
You can’t tell me it’s not painful
To watch this opera go on
How can they go on
Living their lives
Without knowing of the pain
The horror and betrayal
Locked in every heart
How can they do this?
How can we let them?
Together we can stop this hate
Together, at any rate
We can change their course of action
Now listen to my plea
Help me change them around
Just you and me
This task seems impossible
Does it not?
But what do we have to lose?
Lets give it a shot
I miss it
In the good old days
When kids were kids
Getting high only happened
On the swings
The worst thing boys could do
Was give you cooties
Only scraped knees hurt
And only toys got broken
But now
We’re all grown up
Living out lives
Playing this game
Losing badly
But together
We can fix this together
Just take my hand
We’ll show the world
