There was a time when everything looked clean
My world was timeless
My world was innocent
My world was not reality
And then I grew up and I realized
Life is not a fairytale
Life is not what you see when you are a kid
Life is full of secrets and tragedy and misunderstandings
Is that all? Wasn’t there more?
And somehow I had to find the joy
In a small child’s giggle
In a teenager’s enthusiasm for life
In a thank you spoken
And I realized life is full of both
The happy moments
The sad moments
The moments on top of the mountain
And the moments in the valley
And through it all I knew
God was there
Always faithful
Even when I couldn’t feel Him
He was there
He is with me now
Because He has promised to never leave me
