Purity Lyrics & Chords By T'pau

There was a time I recall
We played in the sunshine one and all
Time of our lives when we were small
Young and full of heart
Somewhere along the weary way
Tenderness leaves the games we play
Pain is too high a price to pay
And so we drift apart

I long for naivety and purity of heart
I wish I'd never left
The comfort of my mothers love
I wish I could go home

Don't wanna grow old
Don't wanna grow up at all
And I don't want the world to die

Sometimes I think the best has gone
When you look around at what we've done
To persecute all we're living on
Fear the rising tide
When we were children we would run
Knowing that there could be someone
To keep us from all that could go wrong
Now we face our lives

I pray for humanity and clarity of thought
I wish we
Never hurt the feelings of this mother earth
I wish somebody cared

Don't wanna grow old
Don't wanna grow up at all
And I don't want the world to die
And I don't want the world to die
