With A Child's Heart - Lyrics

With a child’s heart
Go face the worries of the day
With a child’s heart
Turn each problem into play
No need to worry
No need to fear
Just being alive
Makes it all so very clear

With a child’s heart
Nothing can ever get you down
With a child’s heart
You’ve got no reason to frown
(Love)
Love is as welcome
As a sunny, sunny day
No grown up thoughts
To lead our hearts astray

Take life easy
So easy
Nice and easy
Like a child
So gay and so carefree
Yeah

The whole world smiles with you
As you go your merry way
Oh, with a child’s heart
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get me down
Oh, with a child’s heart
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get
Nothing’s gonna get me down
