Paint me a picture of places And faces I saw Through the eyes of a child Show me the people who trust me And call me their friend Show me the future my friend said Was made to be mine I couldn't fail to succeed And show me the envy I saw In the eyes of my friends Ask me where I am A man in the world Where can I be? Ask me what I am I am what you see You see what I am I'm alone And I see that the man I became Is not the same that I saw Through the eyes of a child Take my wisdom Take my wealth Give me my life Here is my world to hold in your hand Take my wisdom Take my wealth Give me my life Here is my world to hold in your hand
