"I USED TO CALL YOUR NAME"

When I was very young
I used to call your name

and you came.

As time went on
I no longer needed you.

Now I do!

Where are you?

Where are you
when the darkness
smothers me?

When the thunder
shakes the night.

Or the night
hides the light.

I long for the days of innocence
lost in a world of make believe.

Riding on butterfly wings
or sailing on a sailing ship.

Guided by the magic of Star Bright.

Oh how I long for the days of innocence.
