Dear Child (So Many Ways)
[Verse 1]
I don't know what it is
About you that makes me feel complete
Your smile brings me peace
Your laughter can heal my world

[Chorus]
If I choose to love you
If I choose to hear you
If I choose to embrace you
Maybe someday I can be as you are
Dear child

[Verse 2]
The thought of you in pain, I can't imagine
Cut so deep I just can't explain
You deserve so much better than
A world that puts you last, puts you last

[Chorus]
If we choose to hurt you
Why do we choose to ignore you?
We choose to make you cry
Then the world would never bе as pure as you are
Dear child
[Bridge]
So many ways to lovе you
So many ways to teach you
So many ways to please you
So many ways to lead you
So many ways to love you
So many ways to teach you
So many ways to please you
So many ways to make you laugh

[Chorus]
Oh, if I choose (Laugh)
Oh, if I choose (Laugh)
Dear child

[Verse 3]
Yes, I know what it is
About you that makes me feel complete
Your smile brings me peace
Your laughter heals my world

[Bridge]
So many ways to love you
So many ways to teach you
So many ways to raise you
So many ways to lead you
So many ways to love you
So many ways to teach you
So many ways to raise you
So many ways to lead you
[Chorus]
Dear child, dear child
I can count the ways
Let me count the ways
Dear child
Let me count the ways
