v2
so young and so much fun
i kiss the ground
so high on life
bring me down
the cure for the future
innocence
the cost ignorance lost
ignorance
v3
an adult another result
of fortune and fame
too smart for my heart
knowledge is pain
i have a brain it's not the same
where's my youth
abused and so confused
i know not what to do
v4
my way's been paved
an open heart
i must focus
it's time to start
the way the truth
the life
obedience is the price
to following Christ
