The scariest thing I ever heard

Was a three-year-old mouth the words, "I want to be like you"

Someday

It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways.

I'm watching every line

Because they love to memorize

Every word I say

Maybe I should change the songs I sing.

Oh, the innocence of a child

Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild

I wish I could be that kind

I wish I could see the world through your eyes.

I love that childlike faith

The thing that no one should take away, I think I had

Once before

Got me to thinking that maybe I should pray a little more.

Oh, the innocence of a child

Never afraid to let their thoughts run wild

I wish I could be that kind

I wish I could see the world through your eyes.

It's a phone call when I am alone, again

Asking me when I'll come back home

Wondering when you'll see me again

Thinking I need to spend a little more time with them.

Oh, the innocence of a child

Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild

I wish I could be that kind.

I wish I could see the world through your eyes.

The scariest thing I ever heard

Was a three-year-old mouth the words, "I want to be like you"

Someday

It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways.
