I remember a day
When I looked at the world in a different way.
Didn't have any walls,
Didn't confine myself to any space.
Just a little more simple,
More air to breathe,
A little more trusting,
Oh, how I long to be
Like a child.
I want to live my life
More like a child.
I wanna be stripped of my pride
Just like a child.
So full of forgiveness,
Lord won't you please break these chains from me?
Like a child.
Why is it as the time goes,
I don't seem to remember?
Everyone was a friend,
And a day could last forever.
All the beauty held in space and time,
They are still yours and are still mine,
Just for a moment, unwind,
And live life
Like a child.
I want to be more innocent
Just like a child.
I want my eyes to shine
Just like a child.
For such is the Kingdom,
And Jesus said, "Bring them unto me."
We could turn from hate to love,
Live a little closer to heaven above,
Make darkness light and war to peace,
If we start to believe
Like a child.
So full of forgiveness,
Oh won't you please break these chains from me?
Like a child.
I want to be more innocent
Just like a child.
I want my eyes to shine
Just like a child.
For such is the Kingdom,
And Jesus said, "Bring them,
O, bring them unto me."
