When I was a child
I saw the world eyes wide open, yes and
When I was a child
I would believe what people told me, I had
An innocent smile
To go with a child? s hope and faith
? My soul to keep? as people say...
Now I look back upon those days
I see that child so far away
And cry
Hey-o, hey-o Voices echo down the years
Hey-o, And wash away my worldy tears
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love? s overcome the world I hear
No longer a child
I see the world through a glass darkly, so sad
No longer a child
I see the hard life we? re all living, so bad
That innocent smile
Sometimes so crynical and cold
Watching the whole world bought and sold
Watching a tragedy unfold
But we? re only children growing old
We try
Hey-o, hey-o Coming from so far away
Hey-o, Calling out the children say
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love is strong is what they say...
Hey-o, hey-o With the vision of a child
Hey-o, With a sure and hopeful smile
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love is gonna win the day...
Forever a child
I want to see eyes wide open
