A dark shade of pale, encompasses all

But things aren't as dark as they seem

An evil rain, continues to fall

And scurries away in a stream

Horror is hidden, in the heart of all men

Like the words in a poet's refrain

Ignorance flies, on the wings of the wind

Blinding the world from the pain

Blinding the world from the pain, yeah!

Utopia lies

In the eyes of the children

Nothing but love

And the change of the day

Tomorrow's a day

Just the same as the next

All that is bad, shut away

... in the eyes of a child

The fields are a place, of joy and security

Everything is warm and peaceful

Happiness flows  through the ends of the earth

In a river that's a new shade of blue

Happiness lives, in the heart of all men

And the clouds here all have silver linings

The rain is of gold, and the mountain's of silver

Yet no greed to own them abounds

No greed to own them abounds, no!

Utopia lies

In the eyes of the children

Nothing but love

And the change of the day

Tomorrow's a day

Just the same as the next

All that is bad, shut away

... in the eyes of a child

But when the crimson sky

Leads prelude to the night

Childhood is gone

But life still goes on

In the twisted frame of time...

When I go back again, I hear the chimes

The lights fading slowly, I have nowhere to hide

I cannot find, the peace within my mind

Yet nothing's unchanged, in the eyes of the children

Still nothing seems, the way it used to be!

Another face, another name

Drawn to the other side, oh, and filled with pain

Now evil engulfs me, and fills my soul

Where is my innocence? I must grow old?

I cannot find, the peace

In the eyes of the children
