Eyes Of A Child
[Intro]
Mm

[Verse 1]
The eyes of a child, so innocent and pure
A child's heart is full of song
Take their tiny hand, and lead them to the light
As adults, we see pain in the world
And it sometimes don't seem right

[Chorus]
But through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes, they've yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the eyes of a child

[Verse 2]
So don't give up, even when the road seems long
Just find that child inside of you
Yeah, you've gotta find you
Spread your wings and fly to the brightest star
If you want, I can even get my friend, Steve, to detail your car
For, like, twenty bucks
[Chorus]
But through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes, they've yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Sure, life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the eyes of a child (Through the eyes, through the eyes)

[Bridge]
Got an eye on my hand
I've got an eye on my hand
I've got an eye on my hand
But still, I can't find you
Eye on my hand
Where have you gone, girl?
Eye on my hand
I'm coming up behind you
Eye on my hand
Don't turn around now
'Cause I'm right there
I'm coming up behind you

[Chorus]
Through the eyes of a child
The world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes (Ooh), yet to realize
The bastards they really are
The beauty of their smile
Adventurous and wild
Sure, life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the eyes of a child
[Outro]
Sure, life is kinda gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the eyes of a child
