Bruce Hornsby’s song “End of the Innocence,” delves into themes of nostalgia, lost innocence, and disillusionment. The lyrics explore the contrast between the simplicity and safety of childhood and the complicated, often harsh realities of adulthood.
When do we begin to realize our world doesn’t always offer protection from harsh realities? How do we become enlightened to just how complex life can be? Does the Bible address this? Glad you asked.
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
So that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ,
Give it some thought.
