Child

1/11/07

When I was just a child, everything in my sight

Seemed so very sacred, seemed so very right

Like the Christmas tree and it’s glow or the moon light on the snow

I remember feeling wonder of a Universe made for hope

I could walk around proud and free, knowing God was watching me

And I was here to make sure of- I would never lose that peace

For back then I could also dream, in the night time so serene

As I befriended all the monsters and offered love instead of screams

I recall as I look back now, just how much that I found

Real meaning in my play time; real purpose was no doubt

I could ride on down my street, enjoy the sunshine and the heat

With my future in front of me, it was my life can’t you see?

And the hero’s that I had, they were greater than any man

They had powers beyond the land, still one day they would need my hand

And together we would fight for justice; together we would fight for peace

Together we could all be trusted, and together we would all be free

Now the years have come and gone, and the child that once did roam

In search of a new adventure, in search of a brighter road

Oh the child that I once knew, filled with mystery but refused

To give in to the thinking that he was only being cute

Oh the boy that once had my eyes, used to see so much divine

And he wasn’t afraid to cry, when deep desires were denied

Yes the young boy that wore my pride, was not frightened by the light

Cause he found it every heart felt time cause he knew that was his right

Yes the young boy with your pride, you’re not afraid of the light

For you even found it now so proud, when you came to me despite

Yes-young boy with your pride, you’re not afraid of the light

For you even found it now so proud, when you rescued me here tonight
