Innocent Child Lyrics

Live for yourself
Today or tomorrow
Look after your health
Forget all your sorrows

I wish I could've seen you
When you could run wild
I would've liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child

It's never to late
For you to do
You don't have to wait
For the sun to go through

I wish I could've seen you
When you could run wild
I would've liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child

I know a way
Of sipping the truth
Go back to the days
Before your youth

I wish I could've seen you
When you could run wild
I would've liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child

Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child

I wish I could've seen you
When you could run wild
I would've liked to know you
As an innocent child
Innocent child

As an innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child
Innocent child

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is such a beautiful song. I've met people that I felt this same way about- that I could have met them before life changed them, when they were innocent and naive.
