[Verse 1]
The scariest thing I ever heard
Was a three-year-old mouth the words
"I want to be like you, someday"
It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways

[Verse 2]
I'm watching every line
Because they love to memorize
Every word, I say
Maybe I should change the songs I sing

[Chorus]
Oh, the innocence of a child
Never afraid to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind
I wish I could see the world through your eyes

[Verse 3]
Oh, that child-like faith
The kind that no one should take away
I think I had, it once bеfore
Got me to thinking that maybe I should pray a littlе more

[Chorus]
Oh, the innocence of a child
Never afraid to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
[Verse 4]
It's a phone call when I'm alone
Asking me when I'll come back home
When they're gonna see me again
Got me to thinking I should spend more time with them

[Chorus]
Oh, the innocence of a child
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
I wish I could see the world through your eyes

[Outro]
The scariest thing I ever heard
Was a three-year-old mouth the words
"I want to be like you, someday"
It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways
