"Innocent Times" adalah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Eric Clapton, yang mengekspresikan kerinduan akan masa lalu yang polos dan tanpa beban. Lagu ini dibuka dengan baris-baris yang menggambarkan masa kanak-kanak yang dipenuhi kebebasan dan kegembiraan, sebuah kontras yang menyakitkan dengan kehidupan dewasa yang penuh dengan tanggung jawab dan kesedihan. Penyanyi merindukan rasa kebebasan dan kepolosan yang telah lama hilang, berdoa kepada Tuhan untuk kesempatan lain untuk merasakannya kembali.
Innocent Times Lyrics
Eric Clapton
I was a child born so free;
It seems that time has put age on me.
And when I grow old, will I once again find
All of those sweet, innocent times?
I was a child born without fear;
It seems that time has placed me here.
With no freedom to laugh, there's more reason to cry.
I really miss those innocent times.
I used to feel joy in my soul,
But now my sorrow has taken control.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times,
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
It seems that time has put age on me.
And when I grow old, will I once again find
All of those sweet, innocent times?
I was a child born without fear;
It seems that time has placed me here.
With no freedom to laugh, there's more reason to cry.
I really miss those innocent times.
I used to feel joy in my soul,
But now my sorrow has taken control.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
As I look around I pray, Lord be kind;
Just one more taste of those innocent times,
Just one more taste of those innocent times.
