The Child Within

Hidden behind the face of man lies someone from the past.
Sometimes forgotten and often ignored, treated like an outcast. 
Somewhere within the grown up body lies a soul of innocent living,
and underneath all of skin’s beauty lies a life of the  untouched being.

That little voice inside of you calls out to you when you’re  wrong,
but for you, life’s to merry, while you sing another’s song.
And lost in the midst of noise, is that tiny voice, your guide.
Fighting to come to the surface and no longer forced to hide.

Many a times we are faced with hardships, decisions we don’t want to make. 
And yet like bosses we sit upright and hold a smile that’s seemingly fake.
But as a little kid, never had you to force a smile.
It just came to you whenever it was worth the while.

But life’s not as easy as it used to be, smiling through it all is no longer an answer.
You have to see life through the eyes of a grown up, now being very mature.
But don’t let that stop the child within from advising you in every way
For you mustn't forget that it was he who brought you to this very day.

Let the child within you be the one that holds you like an iron pillar in a wall.
Let him be every breath you take and even teach you to rise when you fall.
Let the child within you strengthen you and never allow you to break apart
Cause it’s only when you think like a child that you will know what it’s like to think with your heart.
