Artist : Gentle giant
Song : Experience
Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role
in it,
This world played my game, and anyone a clown or
foil for
myself.
The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care
for any
meaning
My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it
only to
myself.
The unseeing youth, how can it be so shallow and
short-
sighted
These years passed me by, to realise the folly of
these unripe
years.
Now I am a man, I realise
My unworldly sins pained many lives
Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn`t listen
And still I watched and I saw with blinkered
eyes.
But with age the conscience slowly dawns and
bonds of
duty gently tied
All my sins, seen through now there is experience
and
recollecting act in virgin guise.
Master inner voices, making the choices.
Once I could rebel and consequences then had no
reflection
And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age
discretion
now.
