innocent

(album: god's work - 2022)

Come back to me
We'll set Eden free
And joy will again win the holy war
You've wandered so far
From who you truly are
And it's time to stop getting drunk off the river of forgetfulness

I want you to be forever
Innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh innocent

They convinced you she's gone
With torturous tongues
Then shamed her away behind holy doors
And I know it seems
She's only a dream
But, it's not naive to believe that one day she'll return to you
No, she never left you

I want you to be forever
Innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh innocent

This is not just a secret
I put in your ear
Not a nicety told to coddle the fear
It's a thread of your worth
That will lead to your whole freaking universe

I want you to be forever
Innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh innocent

I want you to be forever
Oh innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh innocent

Come back to me
We'll set Eden free
Joy will again win the holy war
