Eyes of a Child Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See through the eyes of a child, and it won't be real
Eyes neither hateful or cruel
No lies concealed
Eyes that wander, eyes that stray
While the shame in your heart remains

[Verse 2]
Crying were the eyes of a child in pain tonight
Tears that have bled on you
From the heart of an angel of fear tonight
We can wander, we could stray
But the shame remains

[Verse 3]
See through the eyes of a child and it won't be real
I have loved your eyes, neither hateful or cruel
No lies concealed
We could wander, we could stray
But the shame has remained, has remained
It has remained

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
