Drawer back the curtain
Let the sun stream in
So tell me a story
When you're ready, begin
Speak of the peaceful
The gracious, the wise
Let the world hear our laughter
Before it dies
With a beginning
There must be an end
What is the truth of that my friend
From the sound of the joyous
The gentle, the mild
Please look out at life
With the eyes of a child
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Short is the memory
But long is the hate
For peace on the earth
How long must we wait?
Think of the colours
The seasons, the sun
Put an end to the sorrows
That we have begun
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Drawer back the curtain
The stage is all set
And start on a story
We'll never forget
Tell all the hopeful
The loving, the mild
Then look out at life
With the eyes of a child
Let the sun stream in
So tell me a story
When you're ready, begin
Speak of the peaceful
The gracious, the wise
Let the world hear our laughter
Before it dies
With a beginning
There must be an end
What is the truth of that my friend
From the sound of the joyous
The gentle, the mild
Please look out at life
With the eyes of a child
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Short is the memory
But long is the hate
For peace on the earth
How long must we wait?
Think of the colours
The seasons, the sun
Put an end to the sorrows
That we have begun
From the eyes of a child
Keep out darkness and let in light
Let the eyes of a child
See little things that will give him peace
And fill his life
Drawer back the curtain
The stage is all set
And start on a story
We'll never forget
Tell all the hopeful
The loving, the mild
Then look out at life
With the eyes of a child
