there's a way that a child can look at the world

see through the eyes of the heart

they see meaning beyond the mystery

hear the silence of the stars



so close your eyes so you can see

the way he meant this world to be

and understand with a child like  heart

the place we end is where we start



the child is the father of the man

it's the paradox of god's design

so if you would be grown up and mature

let the light of your childhood shine



so close your eyes so you can see 

what it must have been like to be

a little girl or boy who knows

and walks with jesus as they grow
