What Children Believe

Saturday mornin'
 at a treehouse meetin'
 in our backyard
 over kool-aid and crackers
 you could hear through the laughter
 just how smart they are
 With crayons they wrote down
 the things they believe
 Oh, the wisdom in first grade philosophy
 "Love lasts forever
 Mom & Daddy's stay together
 Cheater's never win
 and a promise is somethin' you keep
 It's bad to lie,
 but it's okay to cry
 Dreams never die
 and faith is all you need"
 Ain't it crazy what children believe?
 Sometimes I wish
 I didn't know now
 what I didn't know then
 When my world was so small,
 back before all of this trouble we're in
 and right and wrong mattered
 and truth was in style
 and hope could be seen
 through the eyes of a child
 "Love lasts forever
 Mom and Daddy's stay together
 Cheater's never win
 and a promise is somethin' you keep
 It's bad to lie
 but it's okay to cry
 Dreams never die,
 and faith is all you need"
 Ain't it crazy - what children believe
 A world without hate
 where people still care
 what a wonderful place this would be
 if we lived there...
 "Love lasts forever
 Mom and Daddy's stay together
 Cheater's never win
 and a promise is somethin' you keep
 It's bad to lie,
 but it's okay to cry
 Dreams never die
 and faith is all you need"
 Ain't it crazy what children believe?
 It's amazin'
 what children believe!
