In the Eyes of a Child

Listen to the voice of a child You will hear the wisdom of the ages A book ready to be written Filled with many unwritten pages Learn from their innocence Honestly brutal but real For they haven’t yet been tarnished telling you exactly how they feel So simple yet so wise they speak feelings never compromised For whatever words they speak to you You should not be surprised Listen to the voice of a child You can always feel their pain They will always bring you sunshine When the world is filled with rain Their laughter is the music That comes straight from the heart So learn to sing their praises Rejoice in every part Never let that child within Escape or get away For every child is a part of us Each and every day Listen to the voice of a child Hear each and every word For every question asked of you From sublime to the absurd There are many lessons to be taught And dreams to be realized We learn from each other every day Yet we always act surprised If we listen a little bit closer You will hear that inner child A lifetime of knowledge Mostly tame but occasionally wild In a world that’s constantly changing You can always find a choice In the wisdom of our childhood You will truly find your voice
