A Child At Play

When I was a child at play,
Filled with a vision of who I was to be
I embraced every new day
Because youth is our time to be free

As the years passed
I tried to find my place in the world
Our innocence disappears so fast
And into the hurricane we are hurled

We find pain when we find love
And lose ourself in the strain
Of wondering, wondering if God is above
Leaving us to pray in vain

Where did the peace of youth go?
Why did it all go wrong?
20 years with nothing to show,
I was misguided all along.
