Texty: Anika Noni Rose. In Our Children's Eyes.
In our children's eyes love can wash away the pain
In our children's eyes storms are followed by a rainbow
And you know the sun will shine
In young hearts and in young minds
That light will grow
Watch that light grow (watch that light grow)
(Chorus)
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
In our children's eyes
In our children's eyes
Wishes chase away a cloud
In our children's eyes
Hearts are brave and strong and proud (ooo)
And in those eyes, hope stays alive
We'll live our dreams and we will try
To touch a star. We'll travel far
(Chorus)
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
In our children's eyes
To be a kid again
Take me to a time and place back when
We could be all we wanted to be
That's America, that's America to me
To me.
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
Give us a chance to dream, a chance to fly
And watch us soar (our children's eyes)
Hand in hand, our dreams come true
From shore to shore
So young, so wise.
In our children's eyes
In our children's eyes storms are followed by a rainbow
And you know the sun will shine
In young hearts and in young minds
That light will grow
Watch that light grow (watch that light grow)
(Chorus)
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
In our children's eyes
In our children's eyes
Wishes chase away a cloud
In our children's eyes
Hearts are brave and strong and proud (ooo)
And in those eyes, hope stays alive
We'll live our dreams and we will try
To touch a star. We'll travel far
(Chorus)
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
In our children's eyes
To be a kid again
Take me to a time and place back when
We could be all we wanted to be
That's America, that's America to me
To me.
We celebrate a joyful sight
Our future's shining bright tonight
It's reflected in our children's eyes
Our dreams fly through silver skies
Give us a chance to dream, a chance to fly
And watch us soar (our children's eyes)
Hand in hand, our dreams come true
From shore to shore
So young, so wise.
In our children's eyes
