Eyes (The Girl In The Purple Dress)

I once read a story

About a world full of love

Of freedom and glory

As seen through the eyes of a child

We learned to believe

That the earth was all

Ocean and ground

Though we were soon to see

That there wasn't

Enough to go 'round

I saw words and wars

Though my books had told me

My life would be one long song

Man make laws

Although laws make man

So uncertain

So uncertain what's right

And what's wrong

Confused without reason

Stumbling helplessly day by day

It was all so deceiving

For that child was me

And I can't find the book anymore

For that child was me

And I can't find the book anymore
