Innocent
Goldfinger/Mest/Good Charlotte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's just another day
We all saw the news
Nothing to say
So many friends are missing
And family members gone
So we all pray that god help them be strong
The life we live will never be the same
And we don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die
Hate has trurned to others
For their religion or their skin
But hate can't solve the problem it began
Everyone is angry, people are afraid
No one knows what decisions will be made
And we don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
We don't know why so many had to die
We don't know why so many had to die
And we don't know why, the innocent die
Will this world ever find a way to change
And we don't know why, but we know it's not right
Will any of us ever be the same
Will any of us ever be the same
We don't know why the innocent die
Will any of us ever be the same
Will any of us ever be the same

Fantastic song, and very fitting for us norwegians in this time. Would love it if they all came to Norway for a consert!
