The innocence of childhood Should remain throughout my life Then the freedom I've been gifted Can surround me day and night I can give my hand to others Who can't reach to find their way And be more than just a stranger To the ones I love each day The comfort of a good friend Could be all I need to find To embrace the world around me Give myself some valued time I will share in equal measures All the problems of my day As I wade the troubled water That might rush my life away Daisies and buttercups shadows from the sun Innocence in paradise a time for everyone Faith, mighty faith The promise no one sees The days pass so quickly They will never wait for me The expectancy of old age As the journey nears home Disbelieving my reflection Knowing that I'm on my own On this road that keeps on winding Feeling that it won't be long Until the final destination Holds my hand and leads me on
