His newborn eyes look for the first time
They glance amazed at all they see
Like crystal balls they look right through me
Expressing wonder and mystery
He smiles as if this must be heaven
And reaches up to touch the sky
Absorbs the colours of all the flowers
Inhales their scent for the first time
I stand before you as your Father
I'll teach and guide you on your way
One day you'll ask me why we fight
And kill each other
How will I answer you that day
He hears the birds sing in the treetops
He feels the warm wind through his hair
A billion things to learn about these new
Surroundings
His mind so free of greed and fear
When will we learn to live together
And stop the bloodshed pain and hate
And share the fruits of mother nature
Instead of living just to take
I stand before you as your father
I'll teach and guide you on your way
One day you'll ask me why we fight
And kill each other
How will I answer you that day
When will we learn to live together
And stop this bloodshed pain and hate
And share the fruits of mother nature
Instead of living just to take
