Michael McDonald - Eyes Of A Child

South Park (Related Recordings) · South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut [1999]

The Eyes of a Child, so innocent and pure

A Child's heart is full of song

Take their tiny hands,

And lead them to the light

As Adults we see the pain in the world,

And sometimes it don't seem right.



But through the Eyes of a Child

The World seems magical

There's a sparkle in their eyes,

They've yet to realise,

The darkness in their soul.



..the Beauty of their smile

Adventurous and wild.

Life is kinda gay,

but it doesn't seem that way,

Through the Eyes of a Child.



So, don't give up

Even when the road seems long

Just find that child inside you

You've got to find you.

Spread your wings and fly, to the brightest star

If ya want, I can even get my friend Steve to detail your car

for about twenty bucks.



Through the Eyes of a Child

The World seems magical

There's a sparkle in their eyes,

They've yet to realise,

The darkness in their soul.



The Beauty of their smile,

Adventurous and wild.

Sure, life is kinda gay,

but it doesn't seem that way,

Through the Eyes of a Child.



Got an eye on my hand!

I've got an eye on my hand!

I've got an eye on my hand!

But still i cant find you!

An eye on my hand!

Where have you gone girl?

An eye on my hand!

I'm coming up behind you.

Eye on my hand!

Don't turn around now,

Cause I'm right there,

I'm coming up behind you!



Through the Eyes of a Child

The World seems magical

There's a sparkle in their eyes,

We've yet to realise,

The bastards they really are!



The Beauty of their smile,

Adventurous and wild.

Sure, life is kinda gay,

But it doesn't seem that way,

Through the Eyes of a Child.

Sure, life is kinda gay,

but it doesn't seem that way,

Through the Eyes of a Child.
