We saw the real light of happiness as children And as adults we chased impostors Worshiping false idols we thought we knew But we wasted our time chasing street lamps Fireworks, lighting bolts, fireflies Mistakenly believing it was the radiance from our half-remembered dreams Not realizing that the candle had been blown out years ago

My innocence is wrapped in your arms
We saw the real light of happiness as children And as adults we chased impostors Worshiping false idols we thought we knew But we wasted our time chasing street lamps Fireworks, lighting bolts, fireflies Mistakenly believing it was the radiance from our half-remembered dreams Not realizing that the candle had been blown out years ago
