Cirque Du Soleil – Child In His Eyes lyrics

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, love, and do it in vain
And our fight for freedom is still the same,
The same ...

(Chorus)
If you look at the man with a child in his eyes,
The boy cries while the man wants to die
He gives up in the future,
Next thing he falls in love with a smile

And if you think you've figured it out,
Tell me, was it just chance,
Or did his heart choose?
And how can you know
When hearts are immune to the rules

If you think you've figured it out,
Tell me why an old man,
Must he be humbled so?
And why do I ask
When it's time for the mind to let go?

(Chorus 2x)

If you look at the man with a child in his eyes,
The boy laughs while the man wants to die
He's with find he's alive,
He loves one with no name who still smiles

(Repeat)
