Borders

The borders on a map defined
The kids always draw through the lines
Their colors change the world in time
They won't resign, they won't resign
We color them with pretty lies
We border them with threats of time
You see the life drain from the eyes
Of the kid behind your adult eyes
Where'd they go?
Where'd they go?
Where'd they go?
Sometimes the sun would shine on me
Sometimes the world would smile at me
Inside myself a light would beam
Which begged to share, which begged to share
Sometimes the future burned so bright
Sometimes our hearts drank up delight
But only once we shared this sight
Our worlds aligned, our worlds aligned
Where'd they go?
Where'd they go?
Where'd they go?
And if you treat the hours like days
And people all your towns like states
Perhaps you'd need less shades of grey
To color you, to color you
And if the headaches go away
And populate your heart with play
Perhaps that inner kid could stay
Accompany your Saturday
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
Where'd you go?
