Suffer the Innocent

[Verse 1]
You have tasted the living water
And your lips are crying out from thirst
You feel older, your view is broader
But that doesn't make you the first to run the distance
Or the last to follow in these steps
So you live in sweet resistance

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffer the innocent, suffer the innocent

[Chorus]
God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"

[Verse 2]
You have wakened from restless sleeping
And the truth will surely make you afraid
Not alone in unsafe keeping
But that's what you wanted to be
To be remembered for a time when maybe you were right
In a day of dying embers

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffer the innocent, suffer the innocent

[Chorus]
God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"

[Pre-Chorus]
Suffer the innocent, suffer the innocent

[Chorus]
God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"

[Bridge]
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces
(Put your heart in the power of the children)
Or forever hold the pieces
(Put your heart in the power of the children)
Or forever hold the pieces
(Put your heart in the power of the children)
Or forever hold the pieces
(Put your heart in the power of the children)
Of the children, of the children

[Chorus]
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever, or forever hold them"

God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces (or forever hold them)
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"

Singing, "God (save the children from the fire)
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces
Singing, "God, save the children from the fire
Put your heart in the power of the children
Or forever hold the pieces"

Singing, "God"
