Focus On the Child

Lyrics

When things get frantic and out of control And children's cries are taking their toll Look beyond the moment and we'll find They're only begging for attention from us And reassurance there'll always be enough 'Cause love to them is only a matter of time In the middle of the circus Lies a heart that's so worthwhile We can focus on the circus Or focus on the child Life is made of choices we must make For ourselves or for their sake Either way, with them our time will quickly pass Easy solutions one day we'll find We may regret at some future time Each word and every second we invest Will last for all time In the middle of the circus Lies a heart that's so worthwhile We can focus on the circus Or focus on the child As we're living in the midway The noise distracts our view As we buy tickets, toys and candy bars The child cries out for You In the middle of the circus Lies a heart that's so worthwhile We can focus on the circus Or focus on that lovely child
