INNOCENCE

Life teaches us what’s worth choosing, What truly deserves our eyes, And I kept chasing after so many things I forgot what it means to simply be alive. Today I look down at my hands And see my father’s hands in mine, And I remember all those moments That time has taken, never to return this time. Today I’d trade so many things For one morning that has passed, Just to hear that voice again, The one that life took away from me at last. We try to understand the world Before we learn to truly live, And only after losing certain things Do we finally see what life can teach. Not every question needs an answer, Not every road needs a reason why, Sometimes it’s better just to close your eyes, Take a breath... and let life pass you by. CHORUS Why the rush, why the rush? If when we reach the end, we’ll all arrive? Why the wanting, why the wanting? If the time we’ve lost can never come back to life? Life is so much smaller Than we ever realize, And the best part of our story Is what money can’t buy. So let your heart keep living, Let the moments come and go, ’Cause when we reach the end... Only what we truly loved will stay.
