They say that through a child’s eyes,

the future looks so bright.

A new generation to lead the world,

to guide us through the night.

They say that through a child’s eyes,

there’s nothing but promise ahead.

No need to look back on the things of the past,

or on legacies left after death.

They say that through a child’s eyes,

life seems just beyond the bend.

And though they told me, I had never believed,

I would ever reach childhood’s end.
