I’ve seen the world through better eyes, and through my mind it magnifies

The thoughts, the dreams, the hopes I know, I can’t help wondering why it’s so

That life is better when it’s seen, through rosy glasses trimmed in green

The world assumes a whole new look, as if village artist took

To re-enhance a scene, or dream a dreamer’s dream

I view the world through a child’s kaleidoscope, and launch a dream that lives on hope
