Not from any eyes

Not from any perspective

Not from any way

But from the eyes of a child

Not from hate

Not from sympathy

Not from anguish

But from the eyes of a child

Not from fear

Not from worries

Not from indifference

But from the eyes of a child

Because in the eyes of a child

there's love

There's genuine truth

There's hope

Because in the eyes of a child

There's curiosity

There's wonder

There's life

Because in the eyes of a child

There's a future

There's an interest

There's purity

Yes when we look from the eyes of a child

We will be more alike than apart

And we shall see our flaws and become

united

together

stronger

able

capable

and better

inspirational
