Into the eyes of a child
Well I do want to be helpful
Gotta hold on to what I got
And out of the hands of another
Into the heart of a child
Or what he's doin' at night or who his friends are
Into the hands of a brother
Into the heart of a lover
Into the heart of a child
Out of the mouth of a mother
You know you can't be too careful these days
Just kind of cruise along
Into the heart of a lover
Whoa but it's cold and I'm told he might just be the devil
Out of the hands of another
Into the hands of a brother
Well times are tough for everyone
Into the heart of a lover
Out of the mouth of a mother
Into the hands of a brother
You can never tell who your neighbor is
Out of the mouth of a mother
Out of the mouth of a mother
Well I don't take chances, I don't take time to see
Well I do want to be helpful
Or where he's been or who he knows
And I don't take nothing from nobody, no way not me
But it's cold and I'm told you can't be too careful
Well you don't know where he's from
Out of the hands of another
And out of the hands of child
Into the ears of a child
Into the hands of a brother
Into the heart of a lover
