What is innocence exactly?
Is it ever unattractive?
Do the people who are innocent
Think their innocence
Makes them better than he people who have lost their innocent bliss?
Hey, are you following this?
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
Sometimes achievers
Busy as beavers
Might look back and say:
"Hey, Dad, look what I built today"
What's experience exactly?
Is it simply earned by living
Do the people with experience
Need to understand
That a life that's richened by experience becomes more unforgiving
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
What's the consequence
When something new gives way?
For example, this building
How much music it will bring
I cannot say
But, Dad, look what we built today
And at what expense
Does innocence become experience?
Let us all commence
To celebrate our lives
And to honor this building
How much music it will bring
We cannot say
But Dad, look what we built today
Today
Today
Today
