Return to Innocence - Enigma
Got quite hooked to this song today, presumably because I interpret the lyrics as the only thing I can do now.
In terms of the song itself, did you know that the chants in the background were actually done by two Amis (one of the Taiwanese aborigines), who were in France for a cultural exchange program in 1988? They didn’t know that the recording of the chants eventually made its way to the song, and they sued Enigma’s producer (and several record companies) because of the unauthorized use of their song.

[Amis chant]
Love
Devotion
Feeling
EmotionDon’t be afraid to be weak
Don’t be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence[Amis chant]
The return to innocence
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don’t hide
Just believe in destinyDon’t care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don’t give up and use the chance
To return to innocence[Amis chant]
That’s not the beginning of the end
That’s the return to yourself
The return to innocence[Amis chant]
That’s not the beginning of the end
