Cover art for Innocence Faded lyrics by Dream Theater

I love the last line of this song. Using "the child" to represent the pure innocence we're all born with is genius. Then, when we sin, the child of innocence begins crawling through to find our true goodness.

As a side note it may be interesting to keep in mind that a child crawling would never be able to catch up with a grown person. This may be a metaphor that once you've lost your innocence, it's gone forever.
