Silently spoken, words going everywhere
Are we hearing what is whispered, only because we care
Shortly here with fleeting time, and moments passing by
Advice from all we do not follow, if only we would try

Age of innocence is long gone, while wisdom fills the void
Ready-made paths of adventure, leads straight to fun and joy
No carefree running through the woods, leaves falling all around
Where riverbeds, crawdads and animal tracks abound

Deeply traveling through our minds, imagination taking hold
If only there, one more time, forgetting we grew old
We are the hunter and the soldier and whatever else we dare
All our days, filled with laughter, with little else to care

Yet instead of youth we grab hold of prejudice and stress
Surrendering to the world adding us to this great big mess
Why do we forget all these roots letting go of innocence
It's only when we love and live, it all makes so much sense
