THE CHILD IN YOUR HEART
©1999 Mark P. Hirschhorn
from the Ascending Music CD ‘The Wonder Of It All’
When was the last time you looked in the eyes
Of a child, and remembered that yours were the same?
Full of the wonder and trust that the world
Was your friend, and the pleasure of life as a game
CHORUS:
Well, it's never too late to believe in the promise
Never too late to begin from the start
Never too late to delight in the innocence
Never too late for the child in your heart
Where is the builder of dreams, who would bring
Them to shape on the beach with your castles of sand?
Soaring aloft like the kite that sailed
To the skies as it tugged at the string in your hand
BRIDGE
Could it be the love we need
To share is deep within our past?
Can we see that we are free
To find our child within at last?
If all you can feel is the hurt, and the aching
Inside, I can tell that you've been just like me
But someone you've known all your life has been waiting
To hear from the person you've turned out to be
There's always a way to forgive and let go
For the tales of tomorrow are calling your name
When was the last time you looked in the eyes
Of a child, and remembered that yours are the same?
