Through The Eyes Of A Child

Paint me a picture of places
And faces I saw
Through the eyes of a child

Show me the people who trust me
And call me their friend

Show me the future my friend said
Was made to be mine
I couldn't fail to succeed
And show me the envy I saw
In the eyes of my friends

Ask me where I am
A man in the world
Where can I be?
Ask me what I am
I am what you see
You see what I am
I'm alone

And I see that the man I became
Is not the same that I saw
Through the eyes of a child

Take my wisdom
Take my wealth
Give me my life
Here is my world to hold in your hand

Take my wisdom
Take my wealth
Give me my life
Here is my world to hold in your hand
