In the Eyes of a Child
When you look back on the life that shaped you.
On dreams and plans from a time long gone.
Does the joy of achieving feel just as warming.
As that quiet feeling that lives deep on?
In the eyes of a child you see joy, you see wonder.
You see hope, you see trust—a world yet to ponder.
For life’s true lessons, there’s no wiser guide.
Than the gaze of a child, so pure and wide.
You’ve found the place to walk your way.
No longer yearning for yesterday.
When life gives life, it cannot break.
And those who give love, find love awake.
When you look to the past for life's long hidden meaning
For the dreams and the plans made in your youth
Does the thrill to achieve match the warm hidden feeling
That lies so still and lives in you
In the eyes of a child there is joy, there is laughter
There is hope, there is trust, a chance to shape the future
For the lessons of life there is no better teacher
Than the look in the eyes of a child
You've found the place to walk the path you've chosen
You'll never miss the world you left behind
When life gives life, it's happiness unbroken
When you give love, it's love you'll find
