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.

小孩子眼里的世界會是什么樣子的呢，

我的朋友們？

我想知道他們是否可以見到

他們所相信的上帝？

他們是否看到旁人在他們玩耍時

關切的眼神所傳達的力量；

或是引領他們走路時溫暖的

充滿愛意的手？

你覺得他們是否會夢到未來世界？

那時他們變成了國王；

或者只是靜靜地享受現在

和小伙伴們一起唱歌的時光？

他們是否能看到那些為逆境中的人們做出的善良之舉？

當一天結束

他們閉上眼睛進入夢鄉的時候

他們會想

這些會是他們一直尋覓的嗎？

他們會在遵守諾言的同時

期待明天嗎？

如果這些是孩子們所能看到的，

那么這并不為奇，

如果我們都有雙孩子的眼睛

那么這個世界將更加美好。
