Story Behind The Song
I have three children and their innocence and beauty continually amazes me. This song is dedicated to them, and why does that perspective have to be gone after they grow up?
Song Description
I wanted to write a song from a young child's perspective - before they lost the innocence of how they look at things.

Lyrics
FROM A CHILD'S EYES
From a child's eyes, this world can be a magic place
From a child's eyes, we all come from the same one place
From a child's eyes, there's no difference between us all
Black or white just makes us colorful - from a child's eyes.
From a child's eyes, Mom's the center of the universe
From a child's eyes, Dad's never last - he's always first
From a child's eyes, no one's hungry, we've fed everyone
There is no such thing as too much fun - from a child's eyes.
Why can't we look and see just how simple it all can be
Just a little love from you and me makes a great harmony
How we need their simple prayers, for there's nothing that compares
To the world they see so innocently as they look through their eyes
We should look at life from a child's eyes.
(Instrumental)
From a child's eyes, this world is only filled with love
From a child's eyes, God smiles on us from up above
From a child's eyes, the whole universe is filled with fun
It's all sprinkled with red cinnamon - from a child's eyes.
Why can't we look and see just how simple it all can be
Just a little love from you and me makes a great harmony
And we need their simple prayers, for there's nothing that compares
To the world they see so innocently as they look through their eyes
We should look at life - we should look at life -
Why can't we look at life from a child'e eyes ?
