What does it mean
to be a Christian
when the God you know and love
takes a child you know and love?
When He takes
your child
your baby
your most
beloved
belonging?

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
