I hear you talk about your pain; I hear you say you’re in the dark
You wonder if you’ll see the sun again
You wonder if you’ll ever feel the spark
That lit the fire in you when you were a child
You think your flame’s completely died—That child is still alive

You have endured a bitter season and all your hurts have left their scars
All this has happened for a reason: to help you open up your heart
And feel the love that’s in you--the spirit of your youth
That you have tried so hard to hide—That child is still alive

And all of the dreams you thought were lost will grow with love
And all of the love you hope to find you have inside
All of the beauty and the wonder of this world
Will come to you through the child’s eyes

So now the challenge is before you: to do what you’ve not done til now
Listen to the child inside you, and let the child show you how
To live the love that you are; the love that I see
When I look into your eyes--That child is still alive
