An innocent heart stopped today
I've heard one million ways to justify
The hole I feel in my body's core
Where my faith in god lives no more
A little boy swims in his salty tears
Collecting years will make his pain grow old
He left his heart in his mother's grave
Where his faith in love was buried cold
I don't want to lose it all
A moment is lost at birth
But darling it's good to believe in something
An old man paints with his eyes all a-glaze
He's losing strength for steady strokes
With his photo books and his worn out shoes
He's lost the shade in his memory's hues
A pretty girl with a spirit just like gold
Dies too young to go away
With her faith in life and her faith in me
I've got to believe in something
I don't want to lose it all
A moment is lost at birth
But darling it's good to believe in something
I don't want to lose it all
An innocent heart stopped today
I've heard one million ways to justify
