everything innocent comes to trial


Every bluebird becomes a black one Every smile becomes a tear Every sunrise becomes a nightfall Every 'grand' becomes a 'mere' Every kiss becomes a fist Every smooth edge becomes a jagged one And every right becomes a wrong Every little girl's voice becomes an echo And every innocent thing in life becomes a dimly ragged one Because everything innocent in this life Comes to trial.
