Nicole Zefanya - Little Souls lyrics

Eight years old We're told: "You're too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world." Eight years from now on You'll forget the art of carefreeness and little girls So six young hearts kickstart and venture Into a labyrinth of question marks Mischievous, wide-eyed We had nothing to hide Our smiles were bonafide We dreamed of superpowers, meteor showers, climbing towers, magic, mermaids, flying ships, and finding home In our unlocked golden coffer all we had was love to offer A currency that once was just enough Guess we grew up These days we've ceased to give A frail and feeble damn We've got new better plans Christal clear each year since June of 2010 We've grown cavalier and bland We used to dance in rainstorms, fight our battles, win the whole war We spoke in flames and held hands while we burned Now all we ever do is vomit apathy, we mop it with apologies: I'm sorry, I worry I worry we grew up Things have changed and minds have aged We're so far in thin unfeasible maze When did black and white decide to propagate? 'Cause everything now seems so gray We've forgotten the beats of our own drums We've lost touch of tunes we used to hum We smell of sin and no longer bubblegum Our season is yet to come We're houses with water-stained walls We're standing but no longer tall When did we stop having a ball? I don't recall I don't recall Here we are so far We've walked a lonely road We're like nomads finding home But somewhere far inside the eight year old resides whispering "you'll be alright." So let us live, let live, forgive, and hope we don't faild the souls we used to know Let's walk each other home Little souls please don't let go This unknown is ours to roam Our little souls will walk us home.
