I thought I knew
What smiling faces mean
The grass is always green
I thought I knew
Tears never shed
Blood never bled
Answers to the questions
I thought I knew
Who is our leader
When we’re following the blind
Wading in this river wasting time
The wars they’d have us fight
Following faded signs
Forbidden ties that bind us
To the limits of our minds
You’re still a child
Though time’s a ticking fast
I’d try to make it last
If I were you
Walk with your love
And wear it like a badge
Shine it up and bask
In the glory of the sun
