Ignorance, the bliss of youth
so naive, nothing in it's truth
all that exists is joy or pain
for in that mind things can be insane
Age darkens that bright spark of hope
studies thrust upon, you learn to cope
in reason and logic the mysteries are explained
and the excitement, the joy of everyday is drained
Enjoy those years of empty want and need
nothing is as it seems in the view of a child's creed
then you age and proper names are given
the world is made smaller, cut in half by this division
