LYRICS
To see the world through the eyes of a child; the world is simpler than you ever knew. You ever knew.
You don't see as we do. You don't hope as we do. You're lost on the ocean (of living).
Listen to us as we listen to you. Our voices are small but our hearts are true.
To see the world through the eyes of a child, the world is simpler than you could believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve, but we see things differently to you.
We hear it all - a drop in the ocean, the whispering wind, and every single word you ever said.
We see it all - the touch of a rainbow, the magic of star shine. Time to see on instead.
To see the world through the eyes of a child, the world is simpler than you could believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve, but we see things differently to you.
Feel the magic through the eyes of a child. Our world is a world of countless wonders!
Where mountains can be conquered and battles won, where dreams aren't make believe.
We may not have the knowledge and we may be naieve,
But we see hope and love and learning even when the world is burning,
We are here. We are here and we see things through a child's eyes.
