For the Innocent

A child waits in the wings
It’s clear in her mind today
Wish it all away
She deserves to be at peace
The walls are closing in
She only has a moment
To go and chase it again
Like never before
We all must have a purpose
A life that we must own
Instead of fight for nothing
And only exist until we fall
I’ve taken all my chances
And tossed them in the dirt
I’m leaving my life of solitude behind me, yeah
‘Cause I still see the light
A doorway that is mine
Take the steps to guide me
I’ve just fallen, fallen behind
We all must have a purpose
A life that we must own
Instead of fight for nothing
And only exist until we fall
With hand grenades to help us
Lift us up when we aren’t strong
Instead we live for something
We all exist to break our fall, fall, fall
