Dear child…look around you, tell me what do you see
Dear child…are you happy, tell me what do you feel…dear child

Please, please…can I see things through your eyes
Show me…all that life seems to disguise
Love moves in the strangest way, finds you when you look away
Grabs you, and you feel the pain…just living life from day to day

Dear child, dear child

Dear child…listen to me, tell me what do you hear
Dear child…are you lonely, tell me what do you fear…dear child

Please, please…won’t you open up your heart?
Try to…understand if we’re apart
I would wipe the tears from you, I would give my life for you
There is nothing I wouldn’t do…to be right there with you…

Dear child, dear child
