World is covered by your trails
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preach in sour lies
I would rather see the world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Mother is bleeding in her heart
With a sleeping child within her arms
From the river to the sea
When will every child be free?
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul
I would rather see the world through the eyes of a child
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preach in sour lies
I would rather see the world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Mother is bleeding in her heart
With a sleeping child within her arms
From the river to the sea
When will every child be free?
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul
I would rather see the world through the eyes of a child

Le parole della versione originale
THROUGH THE EYES OF A CHILD
World is covered by our trails
Scars we cover up with paint
Watch them preaching sour lies
I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Darker times will come and go
Times you need to see her smile
And mothers' hands are warm and mild
I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child
Through the skin of a child
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
Please don't leave me here
World is covered by our trails

Watch them preaching sour lies
I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Darker times will come and go
Times you need to see her smile
And mothers' hands are warm and mild
I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child
Through the skin of a child
When a human strokes your skin
That is when you let them in
Let them in before they go
I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul
With a childlike soul
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
Hey oh, oh hey
Oh hey
Ah-ah hey
Oh hey
