The Innocence Mission

The Innocence Mission (stylized as the innocence mission on all releases since 1995) is an American alternative rock band centered on husband-and-wife singer-songwriters Karen and Don Peris. The original group, including Mike Bitts (bass guitar) and Steve Brown (drums), was formed in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the early 1980s when the members met during a Catholic school production of Godspell. Although all members of the band have contributed musically, Karen Peris is its principal writer. more »

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

There is my kite
Caught around a signpost
The sign says: You are almost there.
So I was right - there is a Heaven
Very near

But there are no fires in hell
There is only Mercy

Some days my kite goes where I cannot see
And I feel happy for its freedom
When it's tangled in the trees and wires
I know it's my own fault
All my fault

But there are no fires in hell
There is only Mercy
(I believe)

One day my kite will escape forever
And I will jump to catch the trailing string
Wishes and wants will fall from my pocket
As I wave, full of peace
