Humble Caledonian Bard
The World through the Eyes of a Child
We live in a world of innocence through the eyes of a child,
An innocence of mind, where imaginations runs wild,
They shut their eyes to a world that can be black as coal,
But a child's open eyes are your windows to their soul,
They see angels and God, they see what they believe,
They see the good in people, never too late to retrieve,
They see sadness and pain you keep hidden from them,
Still they put all their trust in you to kiss it better again,
Their eyes have a sparkle that see everything anew,
Innocent eyes with a message that tell you they trust you,
They look forward to the future, to a world they will own,
Eyes and mind wide open to a new light and new dawn,
They never see anyone rich, they never see anyone poor,
Everyone would be equal isn't that what this world is for?,
Their eyes can say they are tired, time to rest, time to sleep,
Say goodnight with one last look, asking their innocence we keep.
An innocence of mind, where imaginations runs wild,
They shut their eyes to a world that can be black as coal,
But a child's open eyes are your windows to their soul,
They see angels and God, they see what they believe,
They see the good in people, never too late to retrieve,
They see sadness and pain you keep hidden from them,
Still they put all their trust in you to kiss it better again,
Their eyes have a sparkle that see everything anew,
Innocent eyes with a message that tell you they trust you,
They look forward to the future, to a world they will own,
Eyes and mind wide open to a new light and new dawn,
They never see anyone rich, they never see anyone poor,
Everyone would be equal isn't that what this world is for?,
Their eyes can say they are tired, time to rest, time to sleep,
Say goodnight with one last look, asking their innocence we keep.
