"Once I Understood" lyrics

Once I understood
What time's about
I could hear it from the whispers in the wind
They spoke so loud
And I knew for sure
That love was real
Eyes of a child
Kites in a tree
An ocean so wild

Once I understood
Where I belong
Once I saw the world
In right and wrong
But as time went by
I saw too much
The cost of my love
A mouth full of lies
A crack in the skies

The night is cold
Wake from a dream
Pull me outside
Breathe in the clear
Biting truth of paradise

Can you leave it all behind?
Can you leave it all behind?
Do I see or am I blind?
Through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
Through the eyes of a child
