Song Lyrics

Drop of eternities, mighty sea
A blossom on lifes immortal tree
Floating, flowering evermore
The shimmering light of the golden shore

Well, innocent child what shall you be
Keep nothing hidden, nothing from me
Here a sparkling crystal streams
Hard is the truth, then arise the dreams

Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home nor friend in a hollow sky
Mercy Father when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent, innocent, innocent, innocent child
My innocent child (child)

Roaming eyes and prattling tongue
Sound moves swift with a heart that's young
Like a liquid strain of a mocking bird
At the stairs to the home your voice is heard

Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home nor friend in a hollow sky
Mercy Father when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent, innocent, innocent, innocent child
My innocent child (child), innocent child (child), my innocent child (child), innocent child (child)

Well, deep in the garden you were found
With flowers curling, bowing down
As I gaze upon your sinless bloom
Your radiant face dispels my gloom

Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home nor friend in a hollow sky
Mercy Father when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent, innocent, innocent, innocent child
My innocent child (child), my innocent child (child), my innocent child (child), my innocent child (child)
My innocent child (child), my innocent child (child), my innocent child (child), my innocent child (child)
