Where did the songs go?

Once we were warriors Playful warriors who feared nothing and loved freely without wanting Who took chances and saw no boundaries What happened to that free fearlessness My friend where did your smile go, you’re your crazy beautiful self Who killed the child within and left you this cold ,cynical and lonely Who killed the magic that made us do the impossible And left you bitter, untrusting and sad Who made you believe that you were a victim When you were always a victor What is it that knocked to your knees And made you forget it was the best position in which to pray What made you think you need another’s approval to feel complete What’s made you sad, dear friend Where are all the castles we built On the beautiful land called imagination What’s with these chains of guilt around your beautiful soul Why do you hold the painful past so tightly to your chest That you leave your arms too full to embrace the present My friend where did the songs go-the sweet melody inside you The celebration of being alive , the oneness with the universe Where did the songs go?
