There is a hunger in your heart I know so well
A thousand times you have been told the same old tale
Tired of waiting for the answers that never come
Tired of being alone and always on the run
Why does the earth move, can I touch the sky
Reaching for heaven, can I learn to fly
Why do I shiver every time I truly see
This is to you, the eternal child
This is to you, the eternal child
Another day, another place, a brand new life
Forgotten are the broken promises you left behind
There're no mistakes they say in how it all works out
'Cause playing the game is what it's all about
Why does the earth move, can I touch the sky
Reaching for heaven, can I learn to fly
Why do I shiver every time I truly see
This is to you, the eternal child
This is to you, the eternal child
Truth is sinking in, sinking in
Why does the earth move, can I touch the sky
Reaching for heaven, can I learn to fly
Why do I shiver every time I truly see
This is to you, the eternal child
This is to you, the eternal child
