Listen to the voice of a child br You will hear the wisdom of the ages br A book ready to be written br Filled with many unwritten pages br Learn from their innocence br Honestly brutal but real br For they haven’t yet been tarnished br telling you exactly how they feel br So simple yet so wise they speak br feelings never compromised br For whatever words they speak to you br You should not be surprised br Listen to the voice of a child br You can always feel their pain br They will always bring you sunshine br When the world is filled with rain br Their laughter is the music br That comes straight from the heart br So learn to sing their praises br Rejoice in every part br Never let that child within br Escape or get away br For every child is a part of us br Each and every day br Listen to the voice of a child br Hear each and every word br For every question asked of you br From sublime to the absurd br There are many lessons to be taught br And dreams to be realized br We learn from each other every day br Yet we always act surprised br If we listen a little bit closer br You will hear that inner child br A lifetime of knowledge br Mostly tame but occasionally wild br In a world that’s constantly changing br You can always find a choice br In the wisdom of our childhood br You will truly find your voicebr br William Lindenmuthbr br
