Caedmon's Call lyrics - The Innocent's Corner

album: Share the Well (2004)
genre:

Huddled in the light of a cellular billboard 
A family of four is a nation at war 
In her head are the echoes of weeping 
Of children the Sunday before 

The promises made by her Father 
Are no match for hunger's incline 

So she fell to her knees as she cried, 
"In the Innocent's Corner I'll hide." 
You came around and lifted her up 
With the angels beside 
Would she be denied 

Ours is a land with a terrible shortage 
Of harvests to share and breathable air 
And a reason to live may be too hard to find 
Like a wage or a dime 

But we sit here debating the meaning of justice 
With self-righteous spin and an upper caste grin 
We're still suffocating on quicksand indifference 
Where no choice is ever that hard 

So she fell to her knees as she cried, 
In the Innocent's Corner she'll hide 
You came around and lifted her up with the angels beside 

The promises made by her Father 
Would curb any hunger inside
