eyes of a child

Singer: en vogue

i'm complaining

you're complaining

we all like complaining

that the world needs to be a better place

people slaying

babies paying a debt that they don't owe

and we just shake our heads and wonder why

well

the so-called-people that are tearing this world apart

they weren't just born that way

it takes some hard work and determination to learn how to hate

and the first ones that it's taught to

is to the eyes of a child

is to the eyes of a child

come on

now hit me

oh

can i feel some love

yeah?

hoo

yeah

i point the finger

you point the finger

we all point the finger

that the cure is clearly out of our hands

the truth about it

and don't you doubt it

responsibility lies on you and me for woman

child and man

well

the lives we lead are the determining factors

of what this planet earth becomes yeah

yeah

it's gonna take some hard work and determination to demonstrate true love

and the first ones that we gotta show it to

is to the eyes of a child

is to the eyes of a child

yeah yeah

you and me

do we agree?

let's fill the world up with our love yeah yeah yeah

change the hurt

clean the dirt

well

it may seem like i'm preaching

but i'm only teaching

from experience

that's something money can't buy

so you'd better take a listen 'cause our love is missin'

but if we work together

we can work it out

work it out

yeah yeah yeah. 'cause love is missin'

and we gotta work it out

you and me

me and you

we as one

yeah

yeah
