The World in Little Children's Eyes
孩子眼里的世界
What kind of world is it my friends
that little children see?
I wonder if they see God first
because they just believe?
Do they see strength in caring eyes
who watch them as they play;
or maybe love through gentle hands
that guide them on their way?
Do you think they dream of future times
when they would be a king;
or just enjoy their present life
while with their friends they sing?
Do they see the acts of kindness
done for people who are poor?
Is the very best in everyone
what they are looking for?
And when the day is over,
they close their eyes to sleep.
Do they look forward to tomorrow
with its promises to keep?
If this is what the children see,
then it should be no surprise,
the world would be a better place
if we all had children's eyes.
小孩子眼里的世界会是什么样子的呢，
我的朋友们？
我想知道他们是否可以见到
他们所相信的上帝？
他们是否看到旁人在他们玩耍时
关切的眼神所传达的力量；
或是引领他们走路时温暖的
充满爱意的手？
你觉得他们是否会梦到未来世界？
那时他们变成了国王；
或者只是静静地享受现在
和小伙伴们一起唱歌的时光？
他们是否能看到那些为逆境中的人们做出的善良之举？
当一天结束
他们闭上眼睛进入梦乡的时候
他们会想
这些会是他们一直寻觅的吗？
他们会在遵守诺言的同时
期待明天吗？
如果这些是孩子们所能看到的，
那么这并不为奇，
如果我们都有双孩子的眼睛
那么这个世界将更加美好。
