Innocence Lost

Innocence Lost
(Words and music by:  Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick)

Gone away
The days of wish and wondering
Far away
Like a vision in my mind
The child has grown
And left me here alone
Looking back to what was left behind

Lullabyes
And pennies in a wishing well
Sad goodbyes
To friends of make believe
A love so pure
A treasure
Now buried in the sea of me

Milton lost his paradise
Dorothy lost her way
Vincent lost his sanity
Thomas lost his faith
Hoover lost the second time
Sigmund lost his friend
Me, I lost my innocence
And I want it back again

A tug-of-war
Is going on inside of me
A calloused heart
That wants to make a change
While time prevails
Fighting tooth and nail
Keeping me set in my ways

Marco found the orient
Gepetto found his boy
Lincoln found a unity
That Lee could not destroy
Lindy found the other side
Gershwin found the stage
Me, I found a stubborness
That seems to grow with age

As I dream of where I'll go
May I learn from where I've gone
And take the memories that I hold
Into tomorrow

I had it once before
And I want it back again
