Lyrics

INNOCENT AS ANGELS
KING HEROD TOLD HIS SOLDIERS "GO FORTH INTO THE LAND
AND KILL EACH MALE CHILD BEFORE HE BECOMES A MAN"
KING HEROD, HE DESERVES A PLACE INSIDE THE HALL OF SHAME
BUT SOMETIMES I THINK MAYBE WE'RE THE SAME

THEY'RE INNOCENT AS ANGELS, PURE AS SNOW WHITE DOVES
INNOCENT AS ANGELS FROM ABOVE
IF WE'RE THE LAND OF THE FREE, CAN ANYONE TELL ME
IF THEY'RE AS INNOCENT AS ANGELS, WHY CAN'T THEY BE?

I GUESS I DREAM HOW THINGS SHOULD BE INSTEAD OF HOW THEY ARE
I GUESS I'D STORM ALL HEAVEN TO SAVE A SINGLE STAR
HAVE WE BECOME SO JADED OR ARE WE JUST GETTING OLD
OR MAYBE THERE'S A PART OF US WE'VE SOLD

THEY'RE INNOCENT AS ANGELS . . . (CHORUS)

CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHY THE GREATEST LAND ON EARTH
CANNOT DEFEND THE YOUNGEST ONES JUST WAITING FOR THEIR BIRTH?
CAN ANYBODY TELL ME WHAT THEY DID THAT WAS SO WRONG
THAT THEY WILL NEVER GET TO HEAR THEIR SONG?

INNOCENT AS ANGELS . . . (CHORUS)
