This is the water That washed my tiny fingers, A long time ago. This is the wisdom My younger heart believed in, A long time ago. Now I see This is not the real world. Now I see We're far behind. Now I see The road is even longer. Now I see The troubles that I faced Are replaced with lack of words. Places I loved before, Now filled with big buildings. I see these walls In black and white, They steal my thoughts And make me forget things. All I ever wanted was to know, To understand. Look away, The place you love Is never coming back. All I ever wanted was to know, To understand.
