Where have you gone
O, sweet child?

Where have you gone
You innocent youth?

Why have you changed
O, sweet child

Why did you grow
You innocent youth?

Free in your childish mind
Free from the harsh reality

Come, sweet child,
I wish to cover you
in the cloak of ignorance
to hide you from the world

But I am too late,
for you are already grown up
the world has changed you
in your mind
the world has hit you
with the harsh reality
and the world was unkind,
unforgiving, and cruel
