Riccardo Cocciante - Echoes текст песни

When I was a child
I saw the world eyes wide open, yes and
When I was a child
I would believe what people told me, I had
An innocent smile
To go with a child’s hope and faith
“My soul to keep” as people say...
Now I look back upon those days
I see that child so far away
And cry

Hey-o, hey-o Voices echo down the years
Hey-o, And wash away my worldy tears
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love?s overcome the world I hear

No longer a child
I see the world through a glass darkly, so sad
No longer a child
I see the hard life we’re all living, so bad
That innocent smile
Sometimes so crynical and cold
Watching the whole world bought and sold
Watching a tragedy unfold
But we’ re only children growing old
We try

Hey-o, hey-o Coming from so far away
Hey-o, Calling out the children say
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love is strong is what they say...

Hey-o, hey-o With the vision of a child
Hey-o, With a sure and hopeful smile
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, Hold on
Hey-o, hey-o Love is gonna win the day...

Forever a child
I want to see eyes wide open
I try
I try
