These innocent days slip by so fast.
Somhow I knew they'd never last.
Then our worlds started turning
My soul kep on its yearning.
For long gone things I knew would soothe
Simply the days of our youth.
Now I see all the things we've learned.
Too many pages I've seen turned.
Away from what we know is best
To put the unkown to the test.
How did things ever come this way?
I think of you and then I pray.
Chorus:
Bring back the days of our youth.
If you would only look you'd find the truth.
Even with all the bad you've been throughj.
The days of youth still wait for you.
As I sit here watching blind
I wish you'd tell what's on your mind.
Penny for your thoughts in my little cup.
Tell me why it is you're giving up
On everything you've held so close
Someday you'll know they meant the most
(Rap) I just want you to come back
I want you lookin' at God again.
Just want you to trust in Him, just like you did back then.
I know that things were a whole lot more simple then.
I know that we were all only just little kids.
But tell ya what, God talks to adults too.
And He dyin', He's tryin' just to talk to you.
So please, please let His words just sink through.
Let Him show you his love, like in the days of our youth.
