Child In His Eyes

If you think
you've figured it out
And if you think
it's how it should be,
Tell me why
children suffer and then want to die...

So much love, courage,
knowledge, and hope
We still live loving,
do it in vain,
and our fight for freedom is still the same,
the same...

 You can look at the man
with the child in his eyes
The boy cries when Man wants to die
He can fly in the future
next week while the love in him smiles...

And if you think
you figured it out
Tell me,
was it just chance
or did his heart choose?
And how can you know
when hearts are immune to lose?

If you think
you figured it out
Tell me,
why an old man - must he
be humbled so?
Why do I ask
when it's time for the mind to let go?

If you look at the man
with a child in his eyes
The boy cries when Man wants to die
You can fly in the future,
next week while the love in him smiles...

If you look at the man
with a child in his eyes
The boy cries when Man wants to die
He can fly in the future
next week while the love in him smiles

If you look at the man
with a child in his eyes
The boy laughs when Man wants to die
He's refined,
 He's alive
He loves one with the music of smiles

If you look at a man
with the life in his eyes
The boy laughs when Man wants to die
He's refined,
He's alive
He loves one with the music of smiles...

This is track 5 from Kate Bush's album called "The Kick Inside"
