I can't relive my life, I can't retrace my tracks,
I can't undo what's done; there is no going back,
I chased a selfish dream, did not survey the cost,
The illusion's disappeared, and I found my innocence lost.
Some say it's lessons learned, some say it's living life,
I say it's choices made, knowing wrong from right,
One night I fought to sleep; in my slumber I turned and tossed,
I woke to a cloudy day, and found my innocence lost.
An innocent child is a beautiful thing,
Secure in her father's arms, sleeps while a mother sings,
There's no way to know all the harm this world can bring,
I miss my innocence,
Oh, to be innocent.
My heavenly Father - the way all of eternal love that overflows with grace, I can completely trust,
My broken heart repaired, and all my sin forgot,
I can be pure again, in spite of my innocence lost,
In his eyes I'm a newborn child, 'cause I accept his love,
And I have a newfound hope, though I've found my innocence lost.
