I've noticed all the same old things
That I have always seen
Though my perspective
Was bound to change
From how I've learnt to be
I remember when it was all beautiful
If my memory serves me right
Has the world changed
From when I was young?
Or have I?
Let us see the world twice
Through the eyes of a child
And once through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have seek redemption
Such a man would have been born again
Oh, let us see the world again
Through the eyes of a child
And not through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have to learn forgiveness
Such a man would have to lose it all
To find himself again
I've held on to a chain of thoughts
I never used to have
And my perception has gone astray
To judge another man
I remember when it was like paradise!
If my memory serves me right
Has the world changed
From when I was young?
Or have I?
Let us see the world twice
Through the eyes of a child
And once through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have seek redemption
Such a man would have been born again
Oh, let us see the world again
Through the eyes of a child
And not through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have to learn forgiveness
Such a man would have to lose it all
To find himself again
Oh, let us see the world twice
Through the eyes of a child
And once through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have seek redemption
Such a man would have been born again
Oh, let us see the world again
Through the eyes of a child
And no longer through the eyes of a man
Such a man would have to face his demons
Such a man would have to lose himself
And relearn again
And relearn again
With a little bit of forgiveness
A little suffering will do you
