Sarah McLachlan:
Adia
The part of this song
that most speaks to me is the refrain
"'cause we are born innocent
believe me adia, we are still
innocent"
those words affected
me deeply, just what is innocence?
i think of it as
the pure and complete ability to be yourself, and to be happy
to be unencumbered
by "do's" and "don'ts"
to be free, kind
and playful
not neccessarily
virginal, sex can be innocent
innocence is the
ability to twirl in a rainstorm and not worry about your mascara smearing
innocence is always
having a smile on your face and laughing a lot
even at the most
inapropriate moments
it is not sucking
your stomach in
it is the freedom
to eat a pound of chocolate and feel happy, not guilty
it is doing what
you WANT to do before what you OUGHT to be doing
it is everything
that makes this life worth living
too few of us are
innocent anymore
i want to be innocent
more then anything
to be a faery-child
i'm working on it
! :)
here's the song:
adia
adia i do believe i failed
you
adia i know i let you down
don't you know i tried
so hard
to love you in my way
it's easy let it go...
adia i'm empty since you
left me
trying to find a way to
carry on
i search myself and everyone
to see where we went wrong
there's no one left to
finger
there's no one here to
blame
there's no one left to
talk to, honey
and there ain't no one
to buy our innocence
'cause we are born innocent
believe me adia, we are
still innocent
it's easy, we all falter
does it matter?
adia i thought that we
could make it
i know i can't change the
way you feel
to leave you with your
misery
a friend who won't betray
to pull you from your tower
and take away your pain
and show you all the beauty
you possess
if you'd only let yourself
believe
that we are born innocent
believe me adia, we are
still innocent
it's easy, we all falter,
does it matter?
believe me adia, we are
still innocent
'cause we are born innocent
adia we are still innocent
it's easy, we all
falter ... but does it matter?
