A Child's Mind

A Child's Mind
 Help me
 Please shelter me
 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

 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
 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

 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

 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

 It used to be mine...
