Untouched by hands of darkness Blind to the world of men Inside a shell of childhood Behind a cloud of white My eyes see only surface The beauty of myself I long to live among you Amidst the jaded minds Writing what is purely me Not spouting thoughts of old But therein lies the hardness Where there is ugliness Can I simply take a step And there begin to live Will birds still spin their magic Will air still taste so sweet Can love be any better Than childish joys I see Rip away my innocence Take now my faith and hope Cut me with reality Stain me with your knowledge Tear away my bridal gown See what I really am Steal away this soul of mine And leave me just like you
