08. Innocent

Devotion
by Anberlin



 

 

Laying you down one last time.
On the sheets that will never give.
A touch that woke you gently.
I’ll never know if you saw me.

Did your eyes ever, meet mine?
We see what we wanna see, sometimes.
I believe now,
Yes I believe.

We are all born the innocent.
We were born to run carefree.
You will live on in the hearts of men, constantly.
We are all born the innocent.
We were born to run carefree.
I will hold on ‘til the end, there’ll never be an end.

There are few words that I’ve left to say,
That have not already been said.
Your shadows, they will follow me,
Long after I’ve confessed.

Do your lips feel this kiss?
Do your hands feel this touch?
I miss you here,
I miss you so much.

We are all born the innocent.
We were born to run carefree.
You’ll live on in the hearts of men, constantly.
We are all born the innocent.
We were born to run carefree.
I will hold on ‘til the end, there’ll never be an end.



Behind the Song:
'This song was written for my grandfather who passes away while I was on tour in Brazil, he went into a coma but I had the opportunity to see him before I left. He opened his eyes at one point, and I want to believe he felt the kiss on his cheek and heard every word that I uttered between tears.

I know I will see him again.

'When we are dead, seek not our tomb in the earth, but find it in the hearts of men'. -Rumi's epitaph' -- Stephen Christian
