The child inside you
Not far from view
The innocence is there
And the stubbornness too

Wanting to be free
Yet not letting go
Exploring the world
From your bedroom window

Wishing to believe
All things are good
Yet learning the hard way
Not all things would

Finding an escape
In your own little world
Where nothing would hurt you
And nothing could

Although you have grown
You are still naive
With a childlike innocence
You still perceive

Wishing for the day
Your dreams will come true
When you finally find the One
Who understands You
