Vintage Eyes

Tired clothes and vintage eyes
Search for the stars
The world you know lies inside
Velvet dreams and a candy prize
As a child I saw the world
In a million colors
Kaleidoscope
In ever dream mother moon way full
Enraptured eyes watch the changing
World
Against a wall of a million words
I fight to shout right back
Trying to be heard
Take my ashes but leave my soul
Take me higher
Where truth is gold
My childhood, diluted
My innocence polluted
I should know better
I heard the warnings
I should know better
When the walls are forming…
Here I am the boy inside the man
Lend your hand help me
Understand
As a child I saw the world
In a million colors
Kaleidoscope
