Innocent Future

Power, illusion, beauty come walking hand in hand
A mighty chorus swells across the land
Inside illusion there once was truth
Beauty's mirroring our youth
And power, terrifying power

We're searching through the days for
Something that we've lost
Must have been a long time ago
Behind us are the memories
Haunting from inside
Lift up your light to the future
The innocent future

Wherever there is darkness simply shine your light
Wherever anyone is wounded, tired or blind
Whenever anyone is needing
A reason to keep fighting for their life
Shine you light, simply shine your light

My body cannot stand to be forsaken
My fever starts to rise and my temples start to aching
Lost inside the memories
My spirit starts to fall
Lift up my eyes to the future
The innocent future

I heard a thunder roll across the land
Then I saw a shadow fall across my hands
Deep inside the memories
The spirit starts to call
Lift up your eyes to the future
The innocent future

Wherever there is weakness simply shine your light
Strengthening the weakness of the divine
Whenever anybody's got to find a
Reason to keep fighting for their life
Shine your light, simply shine your light
