Sittin' by the river, coolin' my heels
Tryin' to remember how the good life feels
Droppin' a line, skippin' a stone
Thinkin', 
“This is much better than some lives I've known”

It's better than popcorn
And better than beer
Where everything is possible, there's nothin' to fear
With the heart of a dreamer who's a little bit wild
I'll surrender my life to a wide eyed,
Give my life to a Wide Eyed Child

I'm gonna wiggle my fingers
And wiggle my toes
Know the secrets that no one knows
Float on my back with my face to the sun
And thank the stars above for a job well done

Well you can wiggle your fingers
And wiggle your toes
Know the secrets that no one knows
Remember the visions that made you smile
And live your life like a Wide Eyed Child
Like a Wide Eyed Child
Wide Eyed Child
Wide Eyed Child
