Lyrics The World I Used to Know (Live) - Rod McKuen

We've been living in the shadows every day.
Are we ever gonna learn from our mistakes?
Our innocenxe, our ignorance, were lost but they'll be found.
The innocence of years we spent.

I remember the day, between the past and the pain.
We were never afraid of places unknown.
There was nothing to fear, there was faith in the air.
We will never be scared if letting go.
What happened to the world I used to know?
What happened to the world I used to know?
What happened to the world I used to know?

We've been given all these chances everyday.
Another step to take in this could change.
Our innocence, our ignorance were lost but they'll be found.
The innocence of years we spent.

I remember the day, between the past and the pain.
We were never afraid of places unknown.
There was faith in the air.
We will never be scared of letting go.
What happened to the world I used to know?
What happened to the world I used to know?

Even though it's not the same, remember when we made our first steps.
It's always just a thought away, holding on to never forget.
I still feel it now.

I remember the days, between the past and the pain.
We were never afraid of places unknown.
There was nothing to fear, there was faith in the air.
We will never be scared of letting go.
What happened to the world I used to know?
What happened to the world I used to know?
We were living in the shadows everyday.
Are we ever gonna learn from our mistakes?
What happened to the world I used to know?
