When I was Five

When I was Five
When I was Five I knew it all
till someone told me different
When I was five I stood so tall and insignificant to you
Believing everything I saw
hungary for more
Trusting all will be revealed
my cynicism healed
Im not sure of anything
Im not sure of anyone
When I was ten I thought again
It didn't seem to be so nice
Looked around for some advice
Puzzled by confusion
You never looked into our eyes
Decided what we want decided what we need
And when you paint a rosy picture
Careful with that brush
Those petals that crush
Im not sure ......
Brass Bridge

And when you paint a happy picture
Don’t colour in my eyes with rose coloured lies
