lyrics

Once upon a time there was a little child
It didn't know crime and never had to hide
Bold and inquisitive, discovering the world
How could anyone suspect, not everything is gold

Oh child, please do not be afraid
Oh child, don't lose your foolish head
Oh child, please do not hesitate
Oh child, don't lose your faith just yet

Floating through the field with eyes half closed but an open heart
Really see beneath with all the senses that you got
Sharp with a roaring sound, the sky begins to cry
Running past the meadow lands, find a place to hide

Oh child, please do not be afraid
Oh child, don't lose your foolish head
Oh child, please do not hesitate
Oh child, don't lose your faith just yet

(Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)

Listen to the sound of wild yet soft eternity
(Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)
Lying on the ground, gaze to the top of endless trees
(Hmm-mmm-mmm-mmm)

Haya
Haya
Haya
Haya
Haya (Ahh-ahh)
Haya (Ahh)
Haya (Ahh-ahh)
Hayaaaah

One day we will wake up and dream again
To see the world through the eyes of a child
And feel the magic of everything
One day we will wake up and dream again
To see the world through the eyes of a child
And feel the magic of everything
