"Innocent Eyes"

Innocent Eyes

Do you remember when you where 7?
And the only thing that you wanted to do
Was show your mum that you could play the piano
Ten years have passed
And the one thing that lasts
Is that same old song that we played along and made my mumma cry
I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you won't feel cold and I'll sing

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find a star for my direction
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
For the little girl inside who won't just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
My innocent eyes

Do you remember when you were 15?
And the kids at school called you a fool 'coz you took the chance to dream
In the time that's past and the one thing that lasts
Is that same old song that we played along and made my daddy cry

I miss those days and I miss those ways
When I got lost in fantasies
In a cartoon land of mysteries
In a place you won't grow old in a place you wont feel cold and I'll sing

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find a star for my direction
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
For the little girl inside who wont just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
My innocent eyes

Under my feeling under my skin
Under the thoughts from within
Learning the subtext
Of the mind
See creation how where defined

Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Seems I'm lost in my reflection
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find a star for my direction
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
For the little girl inside who wont just hide
Don't let me see mistakes and lies
Let me keep my faith and innocent eyes
My innocent eyes

I love this song, especially the yearning to keep the innocence. So much in life makes us jaded but I think there is still the yearning to be innocent, not to see all the bad in the world.

It's about purity in a contaminated world. I agree with what you say, Leona. I am reminded of John 10:10, "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly." If Satan can rob us of the imagination, creativity, hopes and dreams that make up a childhood, then he has succeeded in snatching us from the life that God has intended for us. This song reminds us all to remember, and to hold on to those values that are so dear to life! Below is a song that reminds me of what it takes to accomplish a life of innocence again.

THE WINDS OF TIME
by Mark Heard.

It takes more than a good intention
It takes more than a cursory line
It takes more than mortal vigor
To withstand the winds of time
It takes more than an eager heart beating
It takes more than an enigmatic smile
It takes more than positive thinking
To stand against this tide

It takes a saturated soul
And a faith that will never let go

It takes more than mindless passion
It takes more than dogma in mime
It takes more than virtuous fashion
To withstand the winds of time

It takes a saturated soul
To withstand the winds of time
