Michael McDonald - Eyes of a Child Lyrics

The eyes of a child, so innocent and pure
A child's heart is full of songs
Take a tiny hand and leap into the light
As adults we see pain in the world
And it sometimes don't seem right

Through the eyes of a child, the world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes, we've yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile, adventurous and wild
Life is kind of gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the Eyes of a Child

So don't give up, even when the road seems long
Just find that child inside of you
Yeah, you gotta find you
Spread your wing and fly, to the brightest star
If you want I can even get my friend Steve to detail your car for like 20 bucks

Through the eyes of a child, the world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes, we've yet to realize
The darkness in their soul
The beauty of their smile, adventurous and wild
Sure life is kind of gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the Eyes of a Child

Gotta lie on my hand
I've gotta lie on my hand
I've gotta lie on my hand
But still I can't find you
Lie on my hand
Where have you gone girl?
Lie on my hand
I pull it up behind you
Lie on my hand
Don't turn around now
Because I'm right there, I'm coming up behind you

Through the eyes of a child, the world seems magical
There's a sparkle in their eyes, we've yet to realize
The bastards they really are
The beauty of their smile, adventurous and wild
Sure life is kind of gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the Eyes of a Child

Sure life is kind of gay, but it doesn't seem that way
Through the Eyes of a Child
