Amy Grant Lyrics
"Innocence Lost"

I can't relive my life
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back
I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared
I found my innocence lost

Some say it's lessons learned
Some say it's living life
I say it's choices made
Knowing right from wrong
One night I fought to sleep
In my slumber I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day
Found my innocence lost

An innocent child is a beautiful thing
Secure in a Father's arms
Sleeps while Mother sings
There's no way to know
All the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence
Oh to be innocent

My heavenly Father
The well of eternal love
That overflows with grace
I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired
And all my sins forgot
I can be pure again
In spite of my innocence lost

In His eyes I'm a newborn child
'Cause I accept His love
I have a new found hope
Though I found my innocence lost
