Innocence

Born in To a world Be the hope and love they need Shielding for the vulnerable Through emotion, word and deed Out of The mouths of babes Flawless and pure Not yet knowing the ways of the world Joyful, secure Then you came Into our world Malignancy now found Pollution is the way of your life Corruption all around you The course of innocence is done And it cannot come again Blue remember'd hills in the land of the lost Exiled child once the line is crossed The course of innocence is done And it cannot come again Time moves slowly for the pure of heart Stands still now your rot has played its part The course of innocence is done And it cannot come again Blue remember'd hills in the land of the lost Exiled child once the line is crossed The course of innocence is done And it cannot come again Time moves slowly for the pure of heart Stands still now your rot has played its part We grew older World grew colder Innocence lost Touched Hushed Hush little baby don't you cry Daddy's gunna sing you a lullaby
