As children we want to be loved
Children all know how to give love
It's stripped away
Little more day by day
And I lose myself in this big world
A piece of myself every day
I give so freely
It's hard to even notice a change

[Chorus:]
Oh come on
Take me back
Take me back to then
Let me see love again

We all hurt others for nothing
I can't find a reason at all
But hate is raging
And war comes so easy to men
I'm so tired of the darkness
It's hard to kindle heat for the fire
But I know there is hope
For the hopeless

[Chorus]
