[English]

World is covered by our trails

Scars we cover up with paint

Watch them preach in sour lies

I would rather see this world through the eyes of a child

Through the eyes of a child

...

Darker times will come and go

Times you need to see her smile

And mothers' hearts are warm and mild

I would rather feel this world through the skin of a child

Through the skin of a child

...

When a human strokes your skin

That is when you let them in

Let them in before they go

I would rather feel alive with a childlike soul

With a childlike soul

...

Hey-oh, oh, hey

Oh, ay

Ah-ah, hey

Oh, ay

Hey-oh, oh, hey

Oh, ay

Ah-ah, hey

Oh, ay

...

Please don't leave me here

...
