To see the world from a child's eyes
Wouldn't that be wonderful
To see how wonderful it all is
To feel the beuty in life
Wouldn't it be grand
To see what nature offers
To feel the peace of the land
To share the chance to gaze to the moon
The world so large
Yet so small
To know that you exist
To want to live like that forever
Why do we lose that?
Or do we really lose it?
Why is it we dont see like that?
Why dont we feel like that?
Wouldn't life be better
If we had the hearts of children?
Wouldn't it be grand
To stare at the sky?
To wonder what is above?
To believe that there is something more?
To hope for something more?
To know that nature is pure?
But is that meant only for children?
Even now I stare at the sky
Even now I dream
Do we really lose that touch?
Do we really lose our childhood in a moment?
I don't believe we do
I believe we just forget to be a child
I believe we forget to stop and listen
We forget how it was to love
Love everything in the world
Then we search for it again
I think we forget we have love all along
I believe we forget to hope
I think we forget to dream
As I stare at the stars
I realize that I missed seeing them
What is it like to see through a child's eyes?
Why dont you stare at the stars?
Just watch in wonder and amazement
Remember what it was like to be a child
Remember what it was like to watch the clouds
Remember to feel nature again
Just watch the birds fly carelessly
Listen to the sounds of the wind
Listen to the sounds of the creatures
Listen to the water as you shower
Do you know what it is like to see as a child?
If not, just remember to dream
I dont know why exactly I wrote this. Maybe it was the combination of that new AT&T commercial where they play that song from the original Willy Wonka movie, "Pure Imagination" and my journal from today. But I really do think that if we remeber what it was like to be amazed by the world around us, and love as we did as young children, we would be at peace. Who knows.
