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 'Cause they love to memorize every word I say Maybe I should change the songs I sing 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 Oh, that child-like faith The kind that no one should take away I think I had it 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 I wish I could see the world through your eyes It's a phone call when I am alone Asking me when I'll come back home And when they gonna see me again Got me to thinking I should spend more time with them 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 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
