Lyrics Innocent - Andreas Vollenweider, Erdal Kizilcay, Walter Keiser

Innocent

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 them 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
And 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 your path
And 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
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
Sapienti Sat.
