Child

I gaze in your eyes
And wonder what thoughts are hiding behind them, yeah
Your lips form a smile
And laughter begins to shatter the silence

A gentle breeze embraces you
From your feet to your feather-like hair
Yet deep within, your power swells
To reveal, to foretell

You're a child, tomorrow rests upon you
You're a child, let all the world learn from you
You're a child, teach us to love and protect you
To forgive, to have hope, to be true

You see with a heart
That knows how to trust in life and its meaning, oh
You hear with a soul
A soul that's never learned to stop yearning

You share the joy of the morning star
As it shines on a day so fair
And where's there's happiness in the air
You are there, you are there

You're a child, tomorrow rests upon you (tomorrow rests upon you)
You're a child, let all the world learn from you (let all the world learn from you)
You're a child, teach us to love and protect you (ooh, to love and protect)
To forgive, to have hope, to be true, ooh

Yet deep within, your power swells
To reveal, to foretell

You're a child, tomorrow rests upon you (tomorrow rests upon you)
You're a child, let all the world learn from you (let all the world learn from you)
You're a child, teach us to love and protect you (ooh, to love and protect)
To forgive, to have hope, to be true

You're a child, tomorrow rests upon you (tomorrow rests upon you)
You're a child, let all the world learn from you (let all the world learn from you)
You're a child, teach us to love and protect you (ooh, to love and protect)
To forgive (to forgive), to have hope (to have hope), to be true (to be true)

You're a child (you're a child)
You're a child
You're a child (you're a child)
You're a child (never forget, never forget)
You're a child (teach us to love each other)

You're a child (oh, yeah)
You're a child (you're a child)
You're a child (child)
You're a child (oh)
