The end of innocence

What I used to know

Something that had to go

I remember my younger years

I remember my young tears

I didn’t know I had to travel

Or whether everything would unravel

I got a surprise

I saw things I didn’t recognize

They made me wonder

What kind of spell I was under

But God brought everything to light

That was a beautiful sight

I finally found my way

I express gratitude every day

I learned many lessons

They turned into confessions

The lessons travel with me

They’re truly meant to be

I’ll never be the same

The world knows my name

I’ve given up old things

I see the joy that brings

God brought me through

I have more to do

There’s no more resistance

To the end of innocence
