This song is simply beautiful! I wish it made the cut on fallen because the emotion of it is so amazing. All of you Evanescence lovers who hasn't gotten a scent of this one, you have to absolutely listen to it.

To me, once again the band has struck a chord in my heart, because I can relate SOOO much. Especially this one. Where as a child you could imagine so much, weave so much energy around you. I role played with other children. I didn't worry about reality's bite. I believed in love, hope, and the goodness that happiness brought me. I was innocent and I merely followed my heart without even as much as a single thought.

Now, with the introduction to the system. The world of credit. Bills. Manipulation. And Violence. So much is lost within people. So many people have receded their very beliefs as a child and still there are others who completely gave them up.

I'd give anything to run in green fields again. Give anything to to just lie down and look at the stars without in-as-much a thought on how I'm going to make it in life, or how I'm wasting time. Ignorance is such bliss.

I believe it to be an uneven trade for your heart for the reality of life. So I decided to keep my heart. To keep my childhood innocence. To keep love and to know that anything can happen.

It makes me stronger as an adult to retain the child within you. Thank you Evanescence, for once again revealing the sadness and more so what people lose when they grow up. Only if they choose to.
