8 years old We're told "you're too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world" 8 years from now on You'll forget the art of care freeness and little girls So 6 young hearts Kick start And venture into A labyrinth Of question marks Mischievous Wide-eyed We had nothing to hide Our smiles were bonafide... We dreamed of superpowers Meteor showers Climbing towers Magic, meremaids Flying ships And finding home In our unlock golden coffer All we had was love to offer A currency that once was just enough.... Guess we grew up Theses days We've ceased To give A frail and feeble **** We've got new better plans Crystal clear Each year Since June of 2010 We've grown cavalier And bland We used to dance in rainstorms Fight our battles, win the whole world We spoke in flames And held hands while we burn Now all we ever do is ***** Apathy, we mop it With apologises I'm sorry's I worry..... I worry, We grew up Things have changed And minds have aged We're so far in this infeasible maze When did black and white decide To propagate Cause everything now seems so.... Gray We've forgotten the beats of our own drums We've lost touch in tunes we used to hum We smell of sin And no longer bubblegum Our season is yet to come We're houses with water stained walls We're standing But no longer tall When did we stop having a ball, I don't recall I don't re-call Here... We are So far We've walked a lonely road We're like nomads finding home But some-where far inside The 8 year old resides Whispering "you'll be alright" So let us live Let live Forgive and hope we don't Fail the souls we used to know Let's walk each other home Little souls please don't let go The unknown is ours to roam Our little souls will walks us Home

Little souls
