Innocent - Andreas Vollenweider, Erdal Kizilcay, Walter Keiser

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
