Through the Eyes of a Child by Ralph Graham Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today I was born, my darkness is gone
My body's free and my life awaits me
The windowpanes glare from sunshine out there
I can't wait to share the joy that surrounds me
The first face I see smiles tenderly
And I guess that's how the whole wide world will be

[Chorus]
Sweet and fair
Blessed with a beauty so rare
Warm and mild
It's always beautiful
When viewed through the eyes of a child!

[Verse 2]
Joyfully I sing each time the doorbell rings
Cheerful gifts they bring, 'cause people are so giving
It's comforting to say I've never spent a lonely day
People always stop and play, it makes life so well worth living
It's peaceful everywhere, the smell of flowers fills the air
It's very clear to me, the world will always be
[Chorus]
So sweet and fair
Blessed with a beauty so rare
Warm and mild
Everything's beautiful
When viewed through the eyes of a child!
Oh now, now...

[Verse 3]
Now that I'm grown, with a child of my own
Things don't look to me as sweet, as they used to be
'Cause people ain't so free as it once appeared to me
Constantly afraid of this hell that we've made
There's fighting everywhere, poison in the air
Confusion and despair, and love is a rare thing
"Ha ha, you, ha ha, me" - living in a world of fantasy

[Chorus]
So sweet and fair
Blessed with a beauty so rare
Warm and mild
Everything's beautiful
When viewed through the eyes of a child!

[Outro]
Oh, see it like a baby
Always wonderful, wonderful, marvelous
When viewed through the eyes of a child!
Always wonderful, oh so marvelous
Why can't we see it like a baby
See it like a baby, see it like a baby
Oh, it's always wonderful, wonderful, yes so wonderful
Beautiful, kinda wonderful
Beautiful, yes, marvelous...
See it like a baby, see it like a baby...
