This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
Please, don't tell me anymore,
There's a weight in your eyes, and it weighs on my heart,
Where have the children gone?
We were innocent once...that was so long ago
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes I know, I know,
Don't tell me of better days,
There's a memory I have, it could be something I read,
Of laughter and cheap guitars,
In a house full of friends, it could have been one of ours,
They stayed up late and loved the stars,
I can't remember the rest, just a few parts
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes, I know, I know
I think they've lost something that they miss,
I want to find that book, dust it of, and read it again,
There was hope in the end
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes, I know,
We were braver, still, when we were young,
And, when we were young we spoke in tongues.
There's a weight in your eyes, and it weighs on my heart,
Where have the children gone?
We were innocent once...that was so long ago
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes I know, I know,
Don't tell me of better days,
There's a memory I have, it could be something I read,
Of laughter and cheap guitars,
In a house full of friends, it could have been one of ours,
They stayed up late and loved the stars,
I can't remember the rest, just a few parts
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes, I know, I know
I think they've lost something that they miss,
I want to find that book, dust it of, and read it again,
There was hope in the end
Have we lost our way back home?
We have made mistakes, I know,
We were braver, still, when we were young,
And, when we were young we spoke in tongues.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

I think Lacey is begging the question, Have they " Flyleaf " lost their way since they have hit mainstream. She admits they have made mistakes since then, and she is wondering can they find their way back. Most likely she is remembering back to the past when things were simple, when even money wasn't an item. Probably when they were just playing down in one of their basements enjoying themselves. Where they could just be with eachother and God in Praise & Worship, where they could speak in tongues. " And when they were young ", " We were innocent once " , refers to them being young as a band, and how back then she feels that they were innocent, but now not so much. Honestly Lacey/Flyleaf your saved and therefore children of God and your mistakes have already been forgiven. Romans 3:23-24 For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God, and are justified freely by His Grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. So because you have Grace(Unmerited Favor) you have been forgiven and simply should continue to do what He has called you to do and that is to present His Truth through your music. Which you are doing, and might I say an Awesome job at that. Thankyou God for Flyleaf they speak your Truth, cuz " You are the Truth, Outscreaming these Lies! ", " You are the Truth, Saving my Life " - Red Sam
No way.
yeah, no way i don't think she'd go back to her horrible life God wouldn't allow it.( 'cause he's COOL!!!)
