Lessons In Manhood

There is a tragedy at hand, where a boy becomes a man,
a loss of innocense, a loss of the things we hold dear,
the knowledge of how the world turns.
I would give it all away to see like a child again
and to remember the things that make me happy in life again.
There's a breath of apathy that lives in every
passing moment to never feel that joy again tars me apart.
I never knew and I never wanted to care.
Growing old was once freedom and now it tears me down.
Please lord get me out of here and let me see the world.
Let me know what life really is,
Guide me up the steps of what you want in me,
I'll try my hardest and I'll try to be the one
to never let you down.
With all I have I'll never let you down.
