[Lyric] Innocent (Andreas Vollenweider)

Stains of blood on sacred land
A sad and broken land
A thousand life lines brought to end
Oh, once so promising

A thousand dreamers lost to war
A disgraceful kind of war
Don’t let it hurt you anymore
No more hurt, no more…

Take down these ancient walls of guilt
That suffocating guilt
Our father’s fathers once have built
Take them down
Tear them all down…

Now raise your head and set your sail
Your beautiful sail
Just remember that you are

You’re innocent before you fail
If you ever would
If you ever will…
Just open your wings and feel the breath
Of a greater love
A love that is waiting for you
So unconditionally
At the other end of time
I’ll be waiting for you
So patiently

Don’t let them drown you in their shame
Always remember that you are
You’re innocent before you fail

Now raise your head and walk you path
And just remember that you are
You’re innocent before you fail
If you ever would, if you ever will…

Just open wide your wings
And feel the breath of a greater love
Send away the wicked fool
With all his seeds of doubt and a legacy of tears

Love is waiting for you so unconditionally
At the other end of time
And I’m still waiting for you
So patiently, at the other end of night
