Lyrics
The Age Of Innocence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The winds of change are blowing on my mind
With every kind of people that you find
They're all part of the changing plan
The sins of time and the will of man
There won't be time to try to right the wrong
But they're all part of the age of innocence
The sacred heart of the age of innocence
Now i heard it said in the land across the water
There's a lesson here for every son and daughter
The times have changed and the wind has blown
The world is gone everything you've known
There won't be time to try to right the wrong
Now our time has come in the age of violence
So say goodbye to the age of innocence
The winds of change are blowing on my mind
With every kind of people that you find
They're all part of the changing plan
The sins of time and the ways of man
There won't be time to try to right the wrong
And our time has come in the age of information
And we'll all be gone before we fill our expectation
The final call in the age of affluence
So say goodbye to the age of innocence
