lyrics

Younger than he feels,
He sees an older face,
Ask him why,
Then savour his answer.
Through eyes can see the child,
Naive but gently free,
Still he won't seek,
An admission or to understand,
His innocent belief,
Or his ageing hand,
Where younger thoughts keep running deeper,
Through his heart and mind,
Where playful chimes sound to begin,
As he uncovers,
Different colours in the person he's discovered.

Younger than he looks,
He feels his inner grace,
Subtleties of childhood nature,
Through eyes can see the child,
Naive,
A gentle face,
Still he won't make an admission,
Or to understand,
His innocent belief,
Or his ageing hand,
Where younger thoughts keep running deeper,
Through his heart and mind,
Where playful chimes sound to begin,
As he uncovers,
All the memories in the person he's discovered.

Through eyes I can still see the child,
Innocence made me feel free,
Saw the beauty behind the face,
Where scars may line or hide a love to be retraced,
Oh innocence made me feel free,
Oh innocence helped to set me free,
Oh innocence made me feel free.

(Lyrics written by Jonny Hoban)
