How many mountains must you face |
|
Before you learn to climb? |
|
I'm gonna give you what it takes |
|
My universal child |
|
I'm gonna try to find a way |
|
To keep you safe from harm |
|
I'm gonna build a special place |
|
A shelter from the storm |
|
And I can see you, you're everywhere |
|
Your portrait fills the sky |
|
I'm gonna wrap my arms 'round you |
|
My universal child |
|
And when I look into your eyes |
|
So innocent and pure |
|
I see the shadows of the things |
|
That you've had to endure |
|
I see the tracks of every tear |
|
That ran right down your face |
|
I see the hurt, |
|
I see the pain |
|
I see the human race |
|
And I can feel you, you're everywhere |
|
Shining like the sun |
|
I wish to |
|
God that kids like you |
|
Could be like everyone |
|
How many tumbles must it take |
|
Before you learn to fly? |
|
I'm gonna help you spread your wings |
|
My universal child |
|
I'm gonna help you find a way |
|
To keep you safe from harm |
|
We're gonna build a special place |
|
A shelter from the storm |
|
I can feel you, you're everywhere |
|
Shining like the sun |
|
I wish to |
|
God that kids like you |
|
Could be like everyone |
|
And I wish to |
|
God that kids like you |
|
Could be like everyone |
