Eyes of a Child

Through the eyes of a child,

I saw,

A beautiful world,

Where everything was pure,

Untainted.

---

Through the eyes of a child,

I saw,

Ah, the beautiful flowers,

With gentle caresses of wind,

But now I wonder,

If the flowers were choking to death,

From all the heat and pollution.

---

Through the eyes of a child,

I saw,

Ah, the raised voices of adults,

Were just playful bicker,

But now I wonder,

How hurtful every word was,

And if forgiveness will ever be found.

---

Through the eyes of a child,

I saw,

Ah, nice people everywhere,

With kind and sweet smiles,

But now I wonder,

Behind every smile,

Did darkness lurk behind?

---

Through the eyes of a child,

The world was still a wonderful place,

Where fairytales still existed,

How beautiful the world will be,

If we all have eyes of a child.
