Song of Innocence Lyrics
[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
A child floating down on a cloud in the sky
Said "Sing me a song 'bout a lamb"
So I sang and he smiled, so I sang again
As he placed a reed in my hand
And with my rural pen I stained the water clear
And wrote this song for every little child to hear
[Chorus 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
A song of innocence
A song of goodness and light
A song of innocence
A song of goodness and light
[Verse 2: Randy Stonehill]
Said the child hovering there on his cloud in the sky
"Please sing me the song once again"
And when it was over, he vanished from sight
These are the words sung to him
The One who's meek and mild you'll find is always near
And I will sing this song for every child to hear
[Chorus 2: Randy Stonehill and Terry Scott Taylor]
A song of innocence
(Little lamb, who made thee?)
A song of goodness and light
(Little lamb, I'll tell you)
A song of innocence
(He is called by thy name)
A song of goodness and light
(He became a child, too)
[Verse 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
A child floating down on a cloud in the sky
Said "Sing me a song 'bout a lamb"
[Chorus 1: Terry Scott Taylor]
A song of innocence
A song of goodness and light
A song of innocence
A song of goodness and light
A song of innocence
