Ivory Knight Picture of Innocence lyrics

Picture of innocence
fast asleep in your bed
i wonder what images flash through your mind
as you enter into a world gone mad
where wrong is right and right is wrong

sometimes i don't know if it's really right
to put you through a life of potential misery
the thought brings tears to my eyes
i can't stand the thought of losing you

and as i watch you sleeping
i wonder where life will take you
i hope you'll choose the right roads
i hope your dreams will all come true


and i wish that i could always be with you my love
to protect you and guide you every step of the way
because the world is full of hatred, anger, and fear
we close our eyes to love
chain ourselves in fear

and if i seem too cynical my love
maybe i've seen the news just once too many times
and its breaking my heart to see what's happening today
but i won't let it happen to you
