"Through Your Eyes" lyrics

The scariest thing I ever heard
Was a three-year-old mouth the words, "I want to be like you"
Someday
It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways

I'm watching every line
Because they love to memorize
Every word I say
Maybe I should change the songs I sing

Oh, the innocence of a child
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind
I wish I could see the world through your eyes

I love that childlike faith
The thing that no one should take away, I think I had
Once before
Got me to thinking that maybe I should pray a little more

Oh, the innocence of a child
Never afraid to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind
I wish I could see the world through your eyes

It's a phone call when I am alone, again
Asking me when I'll come back home
Wondering when you'll see me again
Thinking I need to spend a little more time with them

Oh, the innocence of a child
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
I wish I could be that kind

I wish I could see the world through your eyes

The scariest thing I ever heard
Was a three-year-old mouth the words, "I want to be like you"
Someday
It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways
