Endless Wonder

I once dreamt of endless wonder
That dream has since been torn asunder
Shattered by my struggles and strife
They seem to be the body of life

Others speak of cynics and pessimism
As they wax lyrics of their sweet schism
Their view is all they will ever see
It is for this they will never know me

I step back into shadows from light
My eyes adjust and regain their sight
I will see the truth beyond the path I know
And follow my heart that's where I need to go

I close my eyes and whisper so soft
And remember the place where I was once oft
My truth is mine for you to see
But your belief is unnecessary

I must embrace the heart that once beat so wild
And return to the spirit of my inner child
I must see it was not the world, that was torn asunder
Instead it was I who lost the dream, of endless wonder
