Innocence Songtext
von Copperview

Watch another child close his eyes
He says his prayers and says goodbye
He′s not strong enough to run, or strong enough to fight
Prays to God, hopes he makes it through the night

I see another soldier sneak right in
Watch him with his eyes, black as sin
A misfortune of the night
As the devil comes to life

And with a mother's kiss goodbye, You gotta stop and wonder why

Oh no
What′s it gonna take to do something about it
I shouldn't have to tell you, you know it needs to change right now
Trying now to sleep, he makes no sound
For the fear that he'll be found
Lying on an old dirt floor
Praying for the end of war
Lord God, can you help me here tonight


Innocent, a child dressed in hate
Angry at the lives he′s forced to take
You′ve seen the pictures
You hide your eyes
Tell yourself that it's all a bunch of lies

Oh no
What′s it gonna take to do something about it
I shouldn't have to tell you, you know it needs to change right now

Oh no
And don′t you think it's time to do something about it
We shouldn′t have to tell you, you know it needs to change somehow

Innocence has lost its' place round here
Too many children dying, oh too many mothers crying
Who dreamed of a life one day, but in a moment it's taken away

Oh no
What′s it gonna take to do something about it
I shouldn′t have to tell you, you know it needs to change right now

Oh no
And don't you think it′s time to do something about it
We shouldn't have to tell you, you know it needs to change somehow
