Through the Eyes of a Child lyrics

The wide eyes of a child

Look upon a world reborn

See the glory of a rose

That never bears a thorn

The wide eyes of a child

Can invent a laughing moon

And the orange sun leaps high

Just as a floating toy balloon

He clearly sees

The flower and the bird

Whose thoughts he knows

Without needing any word

And any child can hear

Ringing laughter from a stream

Hear the music of the heart

To us a half-forgotten dream

In sleep he hears

The star’s distant song

Oh, may its wonder last

For his whole life long

If we had vision too

As we stumble on our ways

We could sometimes see our days

As through the eyes of a child
