Ode To A Lost Innocence
by Silverwind

Think about the days when you were just a child,
When your thoughts were pure and your heart was undefiled.
You always stood for what was best, no matter what the test.
And everybody knew that you were different than the rest.

Ooh, ooh, ooh.

Remember when the truth you knew was still aflame,
And your simple honesty gave you a name.
But something happened deep inside,
To swell you up with pride,
The day you left your sovereign guide,
Was the day your conscience died.

Chorus:

So return, (return, return)
Return the the innocence of your youth,
And recall (recall, recall)
Recall the purity of truth.
Oh revive, (revive, revive)
Revive the freedom you knew then,
And put your trust in God again;
America.

You used to fight to bring old evil to an end,
But then you let that enemy become your closest friend.
If you would open up your eyes, you would realize,
The treasure that you idolized is a traitor in disguise.

(Chorus 2x)

America.
