Lyrics:

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.

Voices echo down the years,
and wash away my worldly tears
Hold on…
Hold on…
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 cynical and cold.
Watching the whole world bought and sold.
Watching a tragedy unfold,
but we' re only children growing old, we try…

Coming from so far away.
Calling out the children say.
Hold on…
Hold on…
Love is strong is what they say.

With the vision of a child.
With a sure and hopeful smile.
Hold on…
Hold on…
Love is gonna win the day.

Forever a child,
I want to see eyes wide open, I try…
I try.
