Once I Understood

[Verse 1]

Once, I understood what time's all about

I could hear it from the whispers in the wind

They spoke so loud

And I knew for sure that love was real

Eyes of a child

Kites in a tree

An ocean so wild

[Verse 2]

Once, I understood where I belong

Once, I saw the world and right and wrong

But as time went by, I saw too much

Cost of my love

Mouth full of lies

A crack in the skies

[Bridge]

The night is calling from the dream, the outside

Breathe in the clear, tried-and-true paradise

[Outro]

Can you leave it all behind?

Can you leave it all behind?

Do I see you're in my life

Through the eyes of a child?

Through the eyes of a child

Through the eyes of a child

Through the eyes of a child

Through the eyes of a child
