Child of the universe

You're a child of the universe
Born to know all the joys and sorrows
Seems like your life was mine just yesterday
And mine will be yours tomorrow

Many things will amaze your eyes
Each day is learning there is more to come after
At days end you'll look at treasures you've sought
And find just a few that matter

I'll try to learn from your innocence
Before we take it all away
I'll try to save all I can
To give you back as you go on your way
