[Verse 1]
It’s complicated but it seemed like the right thing to do
He wanted part of the in crowd when they wanted nothing to do with you
[Pre Chorus]
Was it the right thing? It doesn’t matter
Take your label and wear the right colour
You see that in our hands we hold the plans
And the innocence of the little ones
[Chorus]
He tries to break the mould
A life cannot be told
Put me in a box, I don’t wanna
Limit myself to these four lines
They may try to keep us down but know that
The spirit lives in the little ones
[Verse 2]
She never really was a “by the book” kind of girl
(She was living with two sides)
But the woman within, she kept hidden because she didn’t trust the world
(She was living in two minds)
[Pre Chorus]
Was it the right thing? It doesn’t matter
Take your label and wear the right colour
You see that in our hands we hold the plans
And the innocence of the little ones
[Chorus]
She tries to break the mould
A life cannot be told
Put me in a box, I don’t wanna
Limit myself to these four lines
They may try to keep us down but know that
The spirit lives in the little ones
[Verse 3]
You wanna take him down? He’ll get up again
Try to take her smile? She’ll laugh harder
Got his eyes fixed on the prize so don’t you categorize my brother Put me in a box, I don’t wanna
Limit myself to these four lines, no
I’m not tryna be scared, no
I’m not tryna be scared, no
[Chorus]
We try to break the mould
A life cannot be told
Put me in a box, I don’t wanna
Limit myself to these four lines
They may try to keep us down but know that
The spirit lives in the little ones
[Shortened Pre Chorus]
Said in our hands we hold the plans to (innocence of the little ones)
I said in our hands we hold the plans to (innocence of the little ones) I said in our hands we hold the plans to (innocence of the little ones)
The innocence of the little ones (innocence of the little ones)
