"Innocence Lost"
by Andrew Alexander & Roy Arismendez
copyright 2001


A tree falls in the forest,
To keep the company warm
Paper for the checks,
To buy someone a home

A car passes a field,
Of flowers so blue
It leaves behind its trash,
With no thought of me or you

The oceans and the seas are filled with things
That we no longer need
But at what cost?
The skies of blue have a hole in them
Now the sun burns baby’s skin
His innocence lost
His innocence lost

The rain falls from the sky,
It withers away the plants
A field of sand blows in the wind,
Across the farmer’s barren land

An animal lies in a pen,
Waiting for its end
A simple coat of luxury,
A little more money to spend

The oceans and the seas are filled with things
That we no longer need
But at what cost?
The skies of blue have a hole in them
Now the sun burns baby’s skin
His innocence lost
His innocence lost

A child holds his father’s hand,
And looks him in the eye
Help me daddy please,
Before the earth passes us by

The time has come for all of us,
To lead the world in peace
Something for our future,
A gift from you and me

An ocean of blue for all to see
Evolution of our land
We’re in God’s hands
The clouds of gray have a silver lining
Now the sun will light the day
And guide the way
And guide the way
