Innocence In Paradise

(Album: The Knowledge - 2017)

The innocence of childhood
Should remain throughout my life
Then the freedom I've been gifted
Can surround me day and night
I can give my hand to others
Who can't reach to find their way
And be more than just a stranger
To the ones I love each day

The comfort of a good friend
Could be all I need to find
To embrace the world around me
Give myself some valued time
I will share in equal measures
All the problems of my day
As I wade the troubled water
That might rush my life away

Daisies and buttercups shadows from the sun
Innocence in paradise a time for everyone
Faith, mighty faith
The promise no one sees
The days pass so quickly
They will never wait for me

The expectancy of old age
As the journey nears home
Disbelieving my reflection
Knowing that I'm on my own
On this road that keeps on winding
Feeling that it won't be long
Until the final destination
Holds my hand and leads me on
