Milestone

I was innocent
but I've reached that point

Like a child that waited
Ten years old dreaming
of a sweet sixteen
The birthday came
Still the same person
that I was five minutes
Before.


I was innocent
but I never was pure

A simple question of honesty
now that I can't go back
So I'll go forward
And take with me
what I can carry
Until I reach my end
and a new day
Begins.


I was innocent
but...

Ice thaws
Iron rusts
Mountains crumble
And earths collide

I was innocent
but nothing ever lasts forever.
