Innocent
Ian Yates Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is here
It's in our very atmosphere
Now everything is new
He has made us new
Love is now
Re-aligning DNA
And everything is new
He has made us new

Open your eyes, see your true reality
Come tune your heart, this is your identity
Daughters and sons of the King of Majesty
Your life has purpose
You've been made innocent
Love is here
It's in our very atmosphere

Now everything is new
He has made us new
