Fantasies Lost

Innocence is lost — not when taught

You’re born a sinner!

That it’s a fact and you shouldn’t act

like that to be a winner

.

It’s lost about the time when taught

that Santa is a lie

The Easter Bunny, Superman

and Jesus had to die?

.

Who taught the children fantasies?

Their dreams would not come true

Who’ll represent the innocent

when experience makes them blue?

.

They’ll find they have to love themselves

and in their hearts believe

You’re innocence is all you take

from this world you have to leave
