I still remember the world
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything
From the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun
Always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now
Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
I want to go back to
Believing in everything

I actually find this one of the saddest Evanescence songs, but that could just be because I find loss of innocence so tragic.
That's what it's about, losing the innocence of childhood, the optimism and trust and dependence. They've become bitter and cynical-- most likely through death, as suggested by the Latin chanting, reminiscent of a requiem mass.
One of the things I've always loved about Evanescence is their generalizability. This could be as much about the average modern high schooler who's loathe to grow up as it could be about a child in a war, in any time in history.
