Innocent Eyes Susan Ashton

By the light of the moon
Your face shines like an angel
In the still of the room so safe
I watch you sleep
Knowing there is a dangerous world
Waiting for you out there
But as you rise to greet the adventure
I offer you this prayer

May your innocent eyes
See love in your lifetime
May your innocent eyes
See peace in your lifetime
May the wars all stop and hunger fade
Your heart's desire come your way
May your innocent eyes
See love in your lifetime

So many dreams
To dream and follow after
But so many things
This life can put you through
To know the pain of a broken heart
To know the taste of tears when you lose
But don't you know if I had the power
I'd bear it all for you
