Lyrics[edit | edit source]

may i walk beside your shadow, softly
bless the ground you walk upon so easy
innocence, come to me
squandered in anarchy

can i drain your body of its fever
turn my cheek while you are weak and starving
we all know who you are
what you've become, you're a star

sweet dreams you don't want to change
by means at your own hands
remote and isolated
predoubt all that you see

innocence, come to me and be your belief and see

may i walk beside your shadow, softly
bless the ground you walk upon so easy
