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
Chorus 1
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
Verse 2
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
Chorus 2
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
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
Chorus 3
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
Ending
(A child's mind)
A child doesn't know how to lie
(A child's mind)
It used to be mine...
