This song was inspired by the beliefs of Amos Bronson Alcott (1799-1888). His philosophy was one in which we come into this world close to perfection as children, and then become corrupt with age since we exist within a competitive industrialized society. He felt that by maintaining a healthy vegan diet, sleeping, exercising and bathing regularly, one could regain their original purity. However, even by following this ethic I can not regain the innocence as seen through a child's eyes. I have witnessed and lived though hardening experiences, but I have learned from them and refuse to let them grind down my enthusiasm for life.
I can't go back in time
or erase the things I've seen
I came into this world pure and innocent
I'll leave this world wiser and kicking
Who says I gotta act my age
I don't recognize the relevance
I'll never equate the cyclical
with the down right cynical
old is just a state of mind
to which I don't aspire
I plan on staying young
until the day that I expire
