We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
We are searchers of the truth, every man’s a boy deep down
Gotta say it how you mean it – there ain’t no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – asking every question why
From arrival to survival – just to make it worth the waiting
We are faces in the night – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – there ain’t no easy way

In the back of your mind there is always a mark
There’s a wandering solo alone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it apart

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changing my life, changing your life – keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
Like the breath of a child from the moment he’s born
Till the very last day when the curtains are drawn
We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating

We are children of the world – watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
