I wish the world would wait for me Gotta hug my parents tighter Life moves on so easily Yet it doesn't feel any lighter How are you an optimist? Guess I'll hold my head up higher Thought I'd be more competent Hesitating my desires Innocence is happiness Knowledge kills me softly I just want to ask you to Look me in the eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in the eyes Look me in the eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in the eyes Look me in the eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in the eyes, look me in the eyes Look me in the eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in the eyes What I wouldn't do to go back to that time To see the world through a child's eyes Sitting on my appa's shoulder wouldn't think he'd get much older Amma won't you lay in my arms? I'll hold you while I sing this song Innocence is happiness Knowledge kills me softly I just want to ask you to Look me in my eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in my eyes Look me in my eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in my eyes Look me in my eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in my eyes, Look me in my eyes Look me in my eyes and tell me we're alright Look me in my eyes
