Innocence

And I want you to be worldly

But the price of wisdom is too high

And even if it's rainin'

It won't last for forty nights

You're part of my body

But still, you're somebody

I watch you sleepin' through the night

But soon you'll be walkin'

Alone with no warnin'

You'll have to sort the shadows from the light

And you don't know what war is

You don't know who God is

You don't know what it's like to say goodbye

You never felt a heartbreak

What it is that life takes

And I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes

I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes

(I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes)

Don't want you to feel ugly

[?] too hard to describe

I don't want you to be lonely

But whole you love should treat you right

You're part of my body

But still, you're somebody

I watch you sleepin' through the night

But soon you'll be walkin'

Alone with no warnin'

You'll have to sort the shadows from the light

And you don't know what war is

You don't know who God is

You don't know what it's like to say goodbye

You never felt a heartbreak

What it is that life takes

And I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes

I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes

(I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes)

And you don't know what war is

You don't know who God is

You don't know what it's like to say goodbye

You never felt a heartbreak

What it is that life takes

And I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes

I don't wanna wipe innocence from your eyes
