There was a time when I
Would lie in my mothers arms
Cradled so tightly
While I'd dream all day long
Full of discovery
Adventurous and wild
My innocence and purity
Had long been defiled
But now I'm wiped clean
Washed by the blood
Held in the arms
Of my Fathers love
And I've grown older now
Old enough to know
Without a little bit of pressure
You won't start to grow
And you've forgiven me
Restored my innocence
Like a child first born
Before a life of events
And you've tried to find
The things that lie inside
But you wonder around
Through the blankets of the snow
But now it's clothed in white
And the earth begins to shake
And you'll never stop searchin'
However long it takes
Like the morning sun
As it surrenders to the dawn
You wipe the dreams from your eyes
And your reality is gone
Don't you know one day
That it will all be gone
But you've prepared for me
My eternity
So I will live
In spirit and truth
I'm thankful for the times
From the days of my youth
