ENIGMA
"Return to Innocence" is a 1994 song created by the musical group Enigma. The single was the first from their chart-topping second album, The Cross of Changes.
It became one of the project's most popular international singles, reaching number one in over 10 countries (including Greece, Norway, Sweden and Ireland), number two on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, number four on the US Hot 100,[1] number three on the UK Singles Chart, the Top 5 in Austria, Canada,[2] Germany, New Zealand, Netherlands, Switzerland and South Africa. It reached the Top 10 in Italy and France.
The song was used to promote several types of media in the mid-1990s, including film and TV commercials. In fall 1994, the song was featured in an episode of the TV show My So-Called Life.
In 1995, the song was used as the closing theme in Disney's live-action film Man of the House , as well as in the opening and closing of an Outer Limits episode.
In 1996, the song was further popularized when it was used in a television advertisement to promote the 1996 Summer Olympics.
The music video for the song was filmed in Ibiza, Spain, where Cretu also lives. Julien Temple directed. The video shows a man's life going in reverse, starting with him dying (the scene was probably influenced by the 1930 Alexander Dovzhenko film Earth[5]) and ending with his birth, where he returns back to innocence

LYRICS
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Love - Devotion
Feeling - Emotion
Don'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
If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence
That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence
Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence.
If you want then laugh
If you must then cry
Be yourself don't hide
Just believe in destiny.
