Forgive The Children We Once Were lyrics - Delta Rae

We grew up in golden light

Every chance to get it right

What did we do with it?

It’s gone, what I had back then is gone

Can’t get it back again

Raised by kids who gave us names

These grown up children we became

Who spread the gossip and the shame

We waited

For love, for dreams in the night

For days to come when we’d be all right

I can’t remember why I did the things I did

I was just a kid

All our lives we feel this young

Sorry for the things we should have done

Sorry for the kids we pushed too far

Sorry now for all the lonely hearts who can’t move on because

We waited

For love, for dreams in the night

For days to come when we’d be all right

I can’t remember why I did the things I did

I was just a kid

All the lines we knew back then, they now are faded

All the laws we once obeyed, they have betrayed us

People that I used to hate, I hardly remember

Forgive the children we once were
