Lyrics
A drop of eternity's mighty sea
A blossom on life's immortal tree
Floating, flowering evermore
In the shimmering light of the golden shore
An innocent child, what shall you be?
Keeping everything hidden, nothing for me
Pure as sparkling crystal streams
Your heart is the truth and your eyes the dream
Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home, no friend in a hollow sky
Mercy, father, when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent
Innocent child
Roaming eyes and a prattling tongue
The sound moves swift with a heart that's young
Like the liquid strain of a mocking bird
From the stairs to the hall your voice is heard
Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home, no friend in a hollow sky
Mercy, father, when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent
Innocent child
Deep in the garden you were found
With flowers curling, bowing down
As I gaze upon your sinless plume
Your radiant face dispels my gloom
Ashamed to live, afraid to die
No home, no friend in a hollow sky
Mercy, father, when it all goes wild
Keep from harm my innocent
Innocent child
