Perfect Child

I want a perfect child

To live a perfect life in this world

And though my heart tells me this could never be

I see it all so perfectly

They say when we have children

It changes how we live

Changes our direction

From take to give

It changes our perspective

Of how the world should be

Our hopes and aspirations

Of what we want to see

I want a perfect child

To live a perfect life in this world

And though my heart tells me this could never be

I see it all so perfectly

See her kind and pretty

See her neat and smart

See her like her mother

With a golden heart

See him tall and handsome

See he has resolved

Believe he's like his father

But without his fathers faults

I want a perfect child

To live a perfect life in this world

And though my heart tells me this could never be

I see it all so perfectly

I know these dreams are fragile

Never work out as you planned

I pray that God will hold them

In the hollow of his hand

I want a perfect child

I see it allI want a perfect child

I want a perfect child

To live a perfect life in this world

Though my heart tells me this could never be

Could never be, never be,

no no noI see it all so perfectly

To live a perfect life

Perfect life in this world

Though my heart tells

This could never be
