A Child's Mind

A Child's Mind

Intro

Help me
Please shelter me

Verse 1

As a child, I was so young & free
I felt so confident as you carried me
You held me so close & always believed
You instilled in me a sense of purpose & destiny

The world is black & white, as seen thru the eyes of a child
Innocence so pure it lasted for a while
I miss the day, the calm you let me feel
You always believed in me & made everything so real

Chorus 1

I miss being a child
I miss feeling a bit wild
No care in the world for me
A child's mind open for all to see

A child's mind is so young & free
A child will always believe
A child's mind once belonged
To you and me

Verse 2

The years have passed on
Many days have come and gone
My intentions once good
My actions now sometimes wrong

Once wide eyed & full of spunk
Now so negative & always drunk
Lost looking in the rain
For that child-like innocence again

Chorus 2

I miss being a child
I miss feeling a bit wild
No care in the world for me
A child's mind open for all to see

A child's mind is so young & free
A child will always believe
A child's mind once belonged
To you and me

Instrumental

Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh

Looking thru the eyes of a child
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh
Wish I could do it all the time
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh
Looking thru the eyes of a child
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh
The world can be so kind
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh

Looking thru the eyes of a child
Aaahhhh, Ooohhhh

Chorus 3

I miss being a child
I miss feeling a bit wild
No care in the world for me
A child's mind open for all to see

A child's mind is so young & free
A child will always believe
A child's mind once belonged
To you and me

Ending

(A child's mind)
A child doesn't know how to lie
(A child's mind)
It used to be mine...
