We lay there once just you and I
Beneath the vast ocean that is the sky
Pure, untouchable, childhood naivety
There we lay just you and me
Bittersweet emotions talking endlessly through night
Until the daybreak calls first light
Then tragic tales of innocence sold
Young tender hearts turned black and cold
The desperate weeps of parental despair
Weeps all mothers and fathers share
Then full time employment, a family, a car
The father son chats "Stick with this you'll go far"
Closing the doors to a life you had before
A life once lived becomes a chore
Then old age approaches like a brand new day
Loneliness when your friends have passed away
You pray for the time when life expires
When scattered to the breeze your hopes and desires
And there it stands in all it's glory
So what's the moral of this story
A new generation, air breathed by fresh lungs
We should teach the need for staying young.
