lyrics

THROUGH A CHILD'S EYES - Cooper/Jones

It was not land long disputed between factions
Where a building stood now razed to the ground
No comprehending such reckless actions
Through a child’s eyes…it’s home in her hometown

He was not a rebel or a freedom fighter
But a father who was funny and smart
If only she’d held his hand a little tighter
Through a child’s eyes…he’d still have a beating heart

Who are the worthy…who are the wise
Who tells the truth…who tells the lies
Who gives the orders…who takes the prize
Can they bear to look at themselves…through a child’s eyes

She was not a woman who moaned about life
Even when the pain was so numbing
Why take away this mother and wife
Through a child’s eyes…no reason forthcoming

Who are the worthy…who are the wise
Who tells the truth…who tells the lies
Who gives the orders…who takes the prize
Can they bear to look at themselves…through a child’s eyes

Through a child’s eyes filled with tears
Bewilderment and their fears
What sense be made of the men
Who repeat their crimes again

Who are the worthy…who are the wise
Who tells the truth…who tells the lies
Who gives the orders…who takes the prize
Do they dare to look at themselves…through a child’s eyes
