"Innocent" lyrics - LEANN RIMES

Come back to me, we'll set Eden free
Joy will again win the wholly war
You've wandered so far from who you truly are
And it's time to stop getting drunk off the river of forgetfulness

[Chorus:]
I want you to be
Forever innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, innocent

They convinced you she's gone with torturous tongues
Then shamed her away behind holy doors
And I know it seems she's only a dream
But it's not naive to believe that one day she'll return to you
No, she never left you

[Chorus:]
I want you to be
Forever innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, innocent

[Bridge:]
This is not just a secret I put in your ear
Not a nicety told to coddle the fear
It's a thread of your worth
That will lead to your whole freaking universe

[Chorus:]
I want you to be
Forever innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, innocent
I want you to be
(Forever) Oh, innocent
I hope you know love
Oh, and nothing less
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, innocent

[Outro:]
Come back to me, we'll set Eden free
Joy will again win the wholly war
