Of Childhood

Here where my head rests, decay steals some pure state What can I rectify, what made us celebrate There where my heart beats, a faint voice will leave no trace What a birthday, what a stretch of plains All the grace of childhood; all the evenings stay All the whirlwinds braved What a pining face, what a fearless change You felt such a sudden turn You saw the dimmest light begin to burn What can I give to you that doesn't limp away 'Cause I want you to know I have ambitions just like everyone I can smile like everyone I can't confront that send-off Can I prove myself to you someday Can we go somewhere today
