Innocence

They laugh and smile
The future is bright
Remember the days
We lose our innocence
Forget our wrongs from right
The time slips away

They need to look into our eyes and not a screen
Make the most of time
That they have to be free
And when we lose a grip on our reality
We stop taking care
Of the most important thing

They're our children after all
We pick them up so they learn to fall
But we've lost our way of holding
Make the bad things seem so small
We're meant to lay the road for them
Hold their hand and be their friend
But when another flame goes out
We just let the tears roll in

We watch the news
And turn our heads
That's not my kid I hear them say
Don't wanna lose a night of sleep for someone else
But I just do it anyway

They need to look into our eyes and not a screen
Make the most of time
That they have to be free
And when we lose a grip on our reality
We stop taking care
Of the most important thing

They're our children after all
We pick them up so they learn to fall
But we've lost our way of holding
Make the bad things seem so small
We're meant to lay the road for them
Hold their hand and be their friend
But when another flame goes out
We just let the tears roll in

They're our children after all
We pick them up so they learn to fall
But we've lost our way of holding
Make the bad things seem so small
We're meant to lay the road for them
Hold their hand and be their friend
But when another flame goes out
We just let the tears roll in
