Experience

[00:24.60]	Once I was a boy, an innocent to life and my role in it,
[00:28.78]	This world played my game, and anyone a clown or foil for
[00:32.96]	myself.
[00:35.35]
[00:41.67]	The harmless affairs, and no-one seemed to care for any
[00:45.55]	meaning
[00:46.31]	My life was my own, The debt I paid, I paid it only to
[00:49.74]	myself.
[00:51.65]
[01:34.99]	The unseeing youth,
[01:36.43]	how can it be so shallow and short-sighted
[01:39.06]	These years passed me by,
[01:40.51]	to realise the folly of these unripe years.
[01:45.58]
[02:29.10]	Now I am a man, I realise
[02:32.87]
[02:34.22]	My unworldly sins pained many lives
[02:38.13]
[02:39.59]	Yet I heard, heard with ears that wouldn't listen
[02:43.16]
[02:44.86]	And still I watched and I saw with blinkered eyes.
[02:49.58]
[02:51.77]	But with age the conscience slowly dawns
[02:55.24]
[02:57.17]	And bonds of duty gently tied
[03:00.54]
[03:02.50]	All my sins, seen through now there is experience
[03:05.77]
[03:07.64]	and recollecting act in virgin guise.
[03:12.12]
[03:29.13]	Master inner voices, making any choices.
[03:48.60]
[05:09.08]	Master inner voices, making any choices.
[05:30.02]
[06:21.40]	Once I could rebel and consequences then had no reflection
[06:25.24]	And I am a man, And I am bound by adult age discretion
[06:29.41]	now.
