Child

I gaze in your eyes, and wonder what thoughts are hiding behind them.
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 you a 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.
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! You’re a child! You’re a child!
