Caedmon's Call - The Innocent's Corner Lyrics
Huddled in the light of a cellular billboardA family of four is a nation at warIn her head are the echoes of weepingOf children the Sunday beforeThe promises made by her FatherAre no match for hunger's inclineSo she fell to her knees as she cried,"In the Innocent's Corner I'll hide."You came around and lifted her upWith the angels besideWould she be deniedOurs is a land with a terrible shortageOf harvests to share and breathable airAnd a reason to live may be too hard to findLike a wage or a dimeBut we sit here debating the meaning of justiceWith self-righteous spin and an upper caste grinWe're still suffocating on quicksand indifferenceWhere no choice is ever that hardSo she fell to her knees as she cried,In the Innocent's Corner she'll hideYou came around and lifted her up with the angels besideThe promises made by her FatherWould curb any hunger inside
