The song ‘Return to Innocence’ by music band ‘Enigma’ is one of my all time favourite songs and this song bears a special meaning to me. This song is about the human life: the beginning and ending of our lives, the meaning of life, the aim and journey to eternity, and the vision of our life. It signifies the importance of life and how much we should cherish our life. Finally, it is about our journey to another life and life transformation in different stages

As I mentioned earlier this is a song by famous music band ‘Enigma’ and this band is particularly famous for the extraordinary music they produce. I heard this song many years back when I was in my 9th grade. In my birthday one of our relatives gave me a CD of ‘Enigma’ band and then I heard this song. I liked most of the songs on this album but this particular song ‘Return to Innocence’ was bit different and I liked it instantly I heard it for the first time. After that, I heard this song several hundred times and still this music appears as a new inspiration to me. I believe this would never turn into a lost song for me

The brilliant lyrics and extraordinary music of this song soothe my heart each time I listen to it. I can feel this music with every sense of mine and that’s an out-of-the-world feeling. I have found the lyrics pretty rich and meaningful that gave me special meaning about the life we lead. In my stressful and tiresome time this pretty rich and meaningful that gave me special meaning about the life we lead. In my stressful and tiresome time, this particular song has inspired and motivated me many times. This song has become a memory of me. Whenever I listen to this song, I feel a special sensation and that’s why this has a special meaning and strong significance to me
