Lyrics
Looking out my window
Staring at the street below
The crowd below, the world below through grown-up eyes
I can see the helplessness,
the hopelessness, the lonliness,
the fear and the despair, the chaos everywhere
through grown-up eyes
But when I was a child, the world was alive
With streamers of lights and colors,
With textures of tress and stones and clouds and vapor trails.
The animals talked, and heros walked right out of the
Pages of legends and tall tales.
Oh the wonder and surprise when I saw the world through eyes
Through the eyes of a child.
Faster going nowhere,
Hurrying to nothingness, the deep abyss
It looks like this through grown-up eyes.
All the futile expectations, cosmic jokes, and immitations
Asking if we dare, is there a God up there above the skies?
Well through the eyes of a child the world is alive
With magic and mystical moments,
the summers are long, and days go on and on and on.
And God is alive in the breath of the breeze,
The tops of the tress on fire with color.
And nothing ever dies when you see the world through eyes...
Through the eyes of a child.
Through the eyes of a child the raindrops
are tears that fall from heaven
The eyes of a child can see a world reborn.
Imaginining wild and wonderful lives
Unfettered and free, unchained and enchanted.
And suddenly you're wise, full of wonder and surprise
When you look at God through eyes,
Through the eyes...
Through the eyes of a child.
Through the eyes of a child.
