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 Like the last note in a Song that we loved A moment is lost at birth But darling it's good to believe in something Even if it fades away 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 Like the last note in a Song that we loved A moment is lost at birth But darling it's good to believe in something Even if it fades away It fades away We fade away It fades away We fade away I don't want to lose it all An innocent heart stopped today I've heard one million ways to justify
